Our Choices

RSCS typically serves four types of student populations:

Traditional homeschool students - These students are generally supported in their educational endeavors by their parents, and they complete the bulk of their schooling at home. They may also take enrichment or core classes in the community or at the school site, such as science, literature, music, or gymnastics. The credentialed teacher (ES) visits the home regularly and helps guide the parents to be the finest teachers of their children.

Hybrid Students - Students new to homeschooling or those who are looking for a blended program including home instruction/home study, classes and enrichment activities provided by our student centers, and/or community classes. The credentialed teacher's involvement occurs at the academy site and may vary from advisory and assessment capacity to one of almost complete administration of the student's learning process.

Independent Study Students - These students are generally at risk, and have often not been successful in traditional public school. Many times, they need extra help to meet their educational goals. These students meet with their credentialed teacher at one of our student centers on a weekly basis to receive instruction, receive new assignments and get feedback on assignments they have already completed. Some students are eligible to receive our accelerated "credit recovery" FastTrack program, in which students work on one class at a time and receive credits on a weekly basis.

Site-Based 5 Day Students – We offer a unique K-12 site-based program at our Palm Street location in Indio. This program is community oriented, and focused on literacy and character development.
