About Us

Who we are:

William Finch Charter School is the Glenn County Home Independent Study program, offering an alternative education option for K-12 students.

Our Mission:

A charter school is a non-traditional form of public school designed to spur innovation in teaching and learning. Charter schools are flexible so administrators, faculty, staff and parents have many options in designing an educational program, facilities and budget that meet the needs of students. Charter schools operate under five-year charters, which may be renewed.

Our Vision:

Every student who enrolls in our school will graduate from high school prepared for the option of enrolling in a four-year college. S/He will have the confidence, competence, and information needed to make choices for her/his future, and will have demonstrated strength and competence in all the areas needed for full participation in the 21st century economy, and in the political, cultural, and intellectual life of our nation and global society. These areas include: technological literacy; communication skills; aesthetic sensibility; critical thinking and reasoning; social, environmental, and civic responsibility; multicultural and cross-cultural competency; and strength of character; as well as academic competency.
