Alliance Charter Academy
Great homeschool charter school. Love the fact that I am accountable to someone but still able to teach my children what I want and how I want! Wonderful teachers. They are taking classes that they would not have been able to if they were in private or public, I can even take the class with them!

RT: As a homeschooling parent of two children attending ACA (one middle school and one high school age), this Charter school is absolutely fantastic. This is our children's 3rd year and we could not recommend ACA any higher. The teachers and staff are far superior to anything we encountered in the highly regarded Canby School District. At ACA they actually welcome parental involvement and the Educational Specialists (ES's) do a fantastic job helping guide us through a comprehensive learning plan. Look out public schools with your unionized seniority system, with options like this, your days are numbered.
THANK YOU ACA!

A wonderful school for homeschoolers. My children are learning to play the guitar which is something they never would have been taught any where else. Love being with other parents who are doing the same thing as me!

As a current student, having just moved from another school, I find myself socked at the difference between my former school and ACA! Everyone is nice, everyone is completely brilliant, and everyone says that here, not just me. The interactions with teachers to parents one on one, and the test scores for the school are phenomenal. I can't recommend it any higher!
