What is the mission of the school?
City View Charter School’s mission is to provide students with an exemplary whole learning environment, employing purposeful integration and differentiated instruction to create powerful learning experiences that address individual needs while maintaining academic challenges for students of all levels.

What is the vision of the school?
It is our view that all children can excel at learning and that academic distinction can be achieved through inspired leadership and collaborative efforts that heavily involve the student’s interests and natural curiosities. Our vision is to create a dynamic community based school that:

• treats all students as gifted and talented;
• embraces and encourages diversity in our school;
• builds, supports and values parental involvement;
• draws on our local and global community’s extensive resources;
• is dedicated to preserving student-centered learning; and
• provides a safe, nurturing, and “whole learning environment” where students can take risks, achieve, and learn at high levels.
  
  

What grades will the school serve?

• K-8 in 2007-08 (7/8 is a blended class)
• There is a maximum limit of 22 students per class.

What is a Charter School?
Charter schools are public schools of choice.  They must meet or exceed all state & district requirements but are allowed more options in their curriculum, scheduling, and structure.

How much is the tuition?
Charter schools are tuition-free.  They are funded through the state and rely heavily on private and foundation grants to develop school programs.  We also rely heavily on parent donations.

Does the school provide meals?
We currently have pizza day once a week where students can order a meal of pizza, fruit, and juice, but otherwise we do not provide meals at this time.

Does the school provide busing or other transportation?
Not at this time.

Who can attend?
As a public school, City View Charter School is open to all students in the appropriate grade levels.  During enrollment, priority is given to students with siblings already enrolled and then to students living in the Hillsboro School District.

Do I have to live in the Hillsboro School District to enroll my child?
No, students from any school district may attend City View.  During enrollment, however, priority is given to students within the Hillsboro School District.

How can I enroll my child?
To enroll you will need to fill out a Letter of Interest and submit it to the school.  You can download one off this website or pick one up at the school office.

Where is the school located?
The main school office is located at 1771 SE Minter Bridge Rd., near the Sunset Esplanade Shopping Center in Hillsboro.  Grades K-3 will attend at the Minter Bridge location.  Because we have been growing rapidly, grades 4-8 will be at Alliance Bible, located at 4174 SE Bentley Rd.

What is Expeditionary Learning?
Expeditionary Learning is an educational approach based on teaching children through long-term, in-depth projects.  It also emphasizes moral values and working together as a cohesive class & school unit.

How can I get involved?
City View Charter School has a great sense of community and we would love to hear from you!  Please let us know if you are interested in enrolling your child, have ideas for community service
or projects we could be involved in, or would like to be an expert guest in one of our classrooms.
