Philosophy of Education

14 Years Of Schooling

It's never too early to begin preparing for a successful future.

From TK-12, Granada Hills Charter (GHC) School's growth into elementary and middle schools gives us an opportunity to provide students with continuity through all grades. Continuity of learning prepares our students for a bright future ahead - one they envision and one they own. In addition to a strong academic foundation in math, English, humanities, science, art, physical education, and social science, our students will prepare for the rigors of high school, college, and beyond.

An Active Student Body

We are committed to providing a wide variety of activities as an extension of the classroom.

Extracurricular and co-curricular activities are an integral part of a student's school experience. Students who participate in extracurricular activities see an improvement in their academic and life skills including discipline, goal-setting, teamwork, accountability, and responsibility, and are better prepared for post-secondary education. Ultimately, students discover the lessons they learn outside the classroom - in athletics or clubs - help them cope with future challenges in the workplace. We encourage every student to take advantage of the activities offered, confident students will be able to find an activity they are interested in where memories will be made that last a lifetime.

A Special Place To Learn

We are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment.

GHC elevates the educational experience in our community by providing a tradition of excellence in education, unmatched opportunities for our students, and a foundation for success. Our school population is one of the most diverse, and our goal is to provide a safe and secure learning environment where all people can expect to be treated with respect. The dedication of our faculty and staff creates a student-centered environment that fosters academic curiosity, practical skills, and positive attitudes that enable successful, lifelong learners and responsible global citizens.
