As a parent here in Centre County, you have many excellent options in terms of finding the best educational choice for your child. Nittany Valley Charter School invites you to consider if we are the right educational environment for your child.
At this school, we believe in educating the whole child, and your child will receive an education that is both nurturing and individualized. With fluid class groupings based on skills and abilities and not merely on age, your child will learn from standards-based instruction specifically designed for him or her. NVCS students also have the opportunity to pursue their own individual interests, maintaining their natural curiosity about the world. With a student-to-certified teacher ratio of 6:1, teachers get to know their students very well and help them grow.
At this school, we believe environmental education and experiential learning are keys to creating globally aware citizens. Your child will experience weekly environmental education field trips in the fall and spring, and cultural enrichments in the winter, offering hands-on experiences and learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Your child will have the opportunity to learn a new language. Your child will get fresh air and exercise two or three times a day. He or she will develop the latest technology skills. He or she will have hands on experiences in music, art, cooking, robotics, filmmaking, coding, and community service.
When you talk to parents of Nittany Valley Charter School, you will hear about “compassion”, “patience”, and “kindness”. NVCS provides many multi-age opportunities for interaction and learning between the grades. Teachers and students enjoy each other’s company and treat all individuals with thoughtfulness. Children feel valued by both students and teachers alike.
But there is more than that. One parent said, “You gave my son a FUTURE and a love of learning he will carry forever. We will be forever grateful that we found NVCS.”
The local school districts do an excellent job, but you have options. Charter schools are also public schools and thus are free to students. Charter Schools must meet many of the same requirements as the traditional school districts, but each charter school has its own mission in educating children and offers something unique to its students.
