Item Description

Do you wonder what it’se to be a high school student (or teacher) today compared to when you were in school?  Do you dream that you are back in school and can’t remember your locker combination, your schedule, or how to find your classroom?  Pick your subjects of interest.  The school will make you a schedule, and you will attend class with the kids.  Indian River Charter High School (IRCHS) was founded in 1998 as a small, public, non-traditional high school, with an emphasis on character development, academic achievement, career preparation, and cultural awareness. With an enrollment limited to 650, the school operates under the auspices of a private non-profit organization and is guided by a community Board of Directors. The mission of the Indian River Charter High School is to give its students the opportunity to develop a new set of competencies and foundational skills that will help them enjoy a productive, full, and satisfying life. The target population of IRCHS is primarily mature students in grades 9-12 who want a non-traditional structure and learning environment to successfully complete their secondary education and earn a Florida high school diploma. IRCHS is designed to meet students’ academic needs through a combination of tested, innovative, and integrated curricula approaches. IRCHS prepares students for success in post-secondary education, prepares students for a successful career, and requires students to develop both their personal character and their cultural awareness. Within an open-campus, the school provides a nurturing environment for student responsibility and offers a safe, healthy, and positive campus culture. Beyond making sure that each student develops the foundational skills of reading, writing, mathematics, listening, speaking, and critical-thinking, the curriculum emphasizes helping students learn how to learn as well as becoming self-motivated, active students and citizens, problem-solvers, and workers who both relate well to others and posses a high degree of integrity.
