Mission & History

Mission

Oracle Charter School engages students of varying abilities in a concept-rich, challenging academic experience, enabling them to inhabit a meaningful place within their academic and civic communities, and to know and value themselves as individuals. To that end, Oracle Charter School graduates students who are able to meet or exceed state performance standards, and who are prepared thereby to take the next step in their lives.

The mission of Oracle Charter School is to empower all students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become responsible citizens, able to meet life’s challenges and succeed.

History

Established in 2005, with a charter to educate students in grades 7-12, Oracle Charter School is in its fourth year of  operation. In 2008-09, we serve approximately 350 students in grades 7-12 and have an anticipated graduating class of approximately forty students.

Oracle Charter School received its name because of the central importance of self-knowledge to a well-educated student. “Know Thyself” is believed historically to have been inscribed over the entryway to the Oracle at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in ancient Greece. This historical echo along with the roots of classical education and the arts combined to give Oracle Charter School its name.

Our school colors are garnet and gold, and our school mascot is the phoenix.
