The Vallejo Charter School (VCS) is a community-based education project initiated by parents, community members and the Vallejo Unified School District. VCS seeks to increase learning opportunities for all pupils. Our overriding goal is to provide an additional choice and educational opportunity for Vallejo families. The educational program is designed so that children of various 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 Outward Bound Design Principles and Core Practices and Benchmarks.

Vallejo Charter School is the beginning of a new chapter for public education 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 students.  VCS will strive to serve as a catalyst for substantive positive change in education, business and the hearts and minds of all Vallejo residents.

VCS is currently located near the former VCUSD administrative offices at Napa Street and Valle Vista Avenue.  In fact, the old Board of Education chambers serves as our lunchroom. VCS will relocate to the beautiful and serene school site at the far southest 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.
