Join the VCS Council!

The Vallejo Charter School (VCS) is a community-based education project initiated by parents, community members and the Vallejo City Unified School District. VCS seeks to increase learning opportunities for all pupils. Our goal is to provide an additional choice and educational opportunity for Vallejo families. The program is designed so that students with different learning styles and abilities will thrive in a child centered, experiential, and active learning environment that embraces the whole child. The curriculum is based on the Expeditionary Learning Design Principles and Core Practices and Benchmarks.

Our relationship with VCUSD is highly collaborative; VCS operates as a school of the district. The support and guidance we receive from VCUSD enabled us to create this unique educational offering in Vallejo. VCS is the first K-8, Expeditionary Learning public charter school in our district.  It focuses on a culture of mutual respect and teamwork, fostering a love of learning, diversity and inclusion, and an expectation of high achievement for all of our students.

VCS is currently located near the former VCUSD administrative offices at Napa Street and Valle Vista Avenue.  VCS will relocate to the beautiful and serene school site at the far southeast corner of the Hiddenbrooke community when construction of the school is completed.  This amazing site is surrounded by 650 acres of dedicated open space and we truly feel that this setting will offer an incredible environment for students to gain quiet reflection, to experience the natural world and to discover the academic and life subjects that spark real learning.
