City View Charter School was started by a group of passionate parents in 2004 as the only charter school in the Hillsboro School District. Founding families decided upon the EL Education (formerly Expeditionary Learning) model to fill a need for a unique approach to hands-on, project-based education in the Hillsboro School District. The first year, City View was comprised of 65 students, three teachers, and several parent volunteers in blended-grade classrooms.
