The Guidance Charter School will empower every student
with essential skills and knowledge, inspire lifelong
learning, and develop responsible citizens in a school
with both classroom-based and independent study options.
Every student will demonstrate the ability to read,
write, speak, and calculate with clarity and precision;
and willingly participate passionately and responsibly
within their community.
Our educational program is structured around a small
class size of a maximum 20 students per class, with a
dynamic and integrated curriculum that is aligned with
the California Core Curriculum Standards and Assessment.
A comprehensive infusion of technology will serve to
stimulate student’s enthusiasm and interest in the
learning process. Students will learn practical
applications of concepts and theories that provide an
opportunity to experience success in all academic areas.
GCS strives to promote social and emotional maturity
with the skills needed for a smooth transition from the
elementary phase of the educational process to the
secondary phase, and positive citizenship.
The Guidance Charter School (GCS) provides a rigorous
educational program that emphasizes the development of
basic skills in reading, writing, speaking and
computation; development of a repertoire of
problem-solving skills, through understanding of
technology with a development of global perspectives.
Our educational program serves students enrolled in
grades K-8, with a student-centered curriculum which
addresses student’s individual needs, developmental
levels, and diverse learning styles. We offer well
rounded curriculum based upon the concepts and goals
identified in the State framework. The curriculum
adheres to the adopted district-wide “Core Curriculum”
of Palmdale School District (PSD), with the flexibility
to incorporate supplemental materials with local board
approval.
