Our Academics

Educational Program

Oracle Charter School provides a college preparatory education integrated with arts and technology and supported by a school-wide Advisory program.

The foundation of Oracle’s middle school curriculum provides a strong emphasis on English and math skills. Students are “double dosed” in both English Language Arts and in math, through lab classes that allow teachers to break down and reinforce essential skills. Oracle’s high school curriculum requires students to develop graduation portfolios that reflect their growth and development through four years of English, four years of Social Studies, and four years of math or science (three years in each discipline is required with an additional year in one). Students at all grade levels may be invited to participate in honors classes, and the high school curriculum includes AP course options.

Our school curriculum is anchored across content areas and grade levels by an emphasis on critical thinking and shared inquiry. The school partners with the Junior Great Books Foundation, and teachers within the academic core areas (English, Math, Social Studies, and Science) develop their curricula collaboratively with an emphasis on developing “curricular conversations” within the school. We are driven to meet, and then exceed, state performance standards in order to provide a challenging and meaningful education for our students.

Arts and technology integration provide Oracle faculty with ways in which to deepen, broaden, and enhance their curricula. Both the arts and technology engage student interest and allow students and teachers to approach difficult subject matter from a different perspective. Ultimately, these two powerful tools serve the school’s core mission: to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed – not just survive – in the world.
