Vision Charter School receives HONORS.

Vision Charter School has just been awarded the "Honors" ranking from the Public Charter School Commission. This is the highest level of ranking that a charter school can receive in Idaho!  This ranking is based on academics, operations, and financials. Thank you to parents, students, teachers, support staff, board members, and the administrative team for making Vision Charter School an excellent place to grow and learn. 

Musical Theatre is proud to present "The Dastardly Dr. Devereaux", a musical melodrama.  Join Wendy March, Ivy Dripp, Lotta Cash, Dr. Phil Goode, and many others of the Hanover D. Cash medical clinic as they work to thwart the evil plans of Dogsbreath Devereaux and Hilda Hatchett in this silly work full of puns.  There will be three chances to see the performance: Friday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m., and Saturday, April 25 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.  Tickets will be $3 per person or $10 for a family ticket.  There will be a dessert available for an additional $3 per dessert.  Come prepared to laugh, applaud, possibly boo the bad guys, and interact with a variety of zany characters!

Vision Charter School Mission Statement:

 To create well educated, respectful citizen leaders in a K-12th grade College Prep Science and Art School.

Vision Charter School Key Design Elements:

 Arts and Sciences - Language arts, fine arts, and science will be emphasized at all grade levels. Students will acquire and apply knowledge.

Character and Leadership Development - Character development is considered a fundamental purpose of education and will be fostered through a child-centered educational model built on high behavioral and academic expectations. The comprehensive character education plan will tap into each child's innate need to know boundaries while protecting his/her dignity.

Small School Environment - The school will provide a small, safe educational setting in which students and faculty know each other personally.

Music Training - Elementary students will be taught basic keyboarding through general music courses. A music curriculum for older students will focus on the development of fundamental musician skills, while also exposing students to local musical heritage and culture.

Second Language - Students in all grades will be exposed to a second language, with a primary emphasis on Spanish.
