Educating “One Student at a Time”
Shenandoah High School is the only dependent charter school within the El Dorado Union High School District. Shenandoah is not a vocational school or a continuation program; we provide students and families a choice in how they learn. Shenandoah is part of the Big Picture network of schools. The Big Picture school network has over 30 schools nationwide and is starting to expand internationally. Shenandoah features:
- A small learning community: Students stay with the same cohorts all four years and the same advisor for multiple years. The student population is approximately 120. There are 5 full time advisors/ teachers, one director, one part time RSP teacher, one L.T.I. coordinator, one secretary, and a part time math tutor.
- Real world learning: Students complete their academic curriculum through projects and internships in the community. Students are required to complete 300 hours of community service in the four years they spend at Shenandoah.
- Infinite possibilities: The curriculum at Shenandoah is only limited by the students’ imaginations! Students at Shenandoah can be enrolled in college classes, and ROP programs. Students also get the possibility to study abroad, help the community, and learn how certain careers work first-hand through internships.
- The educational program is designed to fit each student’s individual passions and interests.
- A Learning Team: Shenandoah strongly believes that parents are essential to their student’s academic and personal success. Each advisor/ teacher works closely with parents and students to create academic goals that will help students reach their life goals.
