San Carlos Charter Learning Center
I love this public k-8 multi-age Charter school. This school is the first Charter School in the State of California and I believe it is the oldest Charter School in the country that is still in operation. This school requires 80 hours per year of parent volunteer hours which allows parents to bring their passions and skills for all to benefit. My son is getting a fabulous education and is building great realtionships with very smart teachers who push him to do his best work and learn as much as he can. What I love the most is my child's continued excitement for learning.
The physical school grounds are not as attractive as I would like. This is true of most of the schools in San Carlos. Given the state of public funding for schools in California they do the best they can but there is room for improvement in the physical structure and appearance of the grounds.
