To prepare students for life beyond high school by providing a supportive environment, holistic learning approach and by being a respectful and committed organization.

 

Our Vision

We support success through education by providing our students an innovative educational experience.

 

Why Por Vida?

Charter schools were designed to offer parents and students an alternative to traditional public schools to meet varying social and educational needs. We here in the Por Vida district work very hard to provide you with an excellent alternative.

Here are the top 5 reasons why our charter high schools are providing an outstanding alternative educational experience to public schools for students.

1. Our schools provide an array of academic, social, and emotional supports to meet each student's needs. 

2. We have effective and compassionate teachers and school leaders who are committed and dedicated to the success of every student.

3. Our educators ensure that every student is individually known and given an educational experience where they can thrive.

4. Our teachers and school leaders are given the latest research-based supports they need to be the very best in meeting students' needs.

5. When our students graduate, they leave prepared with the resources they need to be successful in career and life.
