The public has never been more supportive of California’s charter public schools based on growth in charter school enrollment, waiting list numbers, and polling data. Yet, while charter schools enjoy strong support, there are vocal critics who perpetuate a number of myths. Through our series, the Truth About Charters, we hope to clarify common misperceptions by providing responses based on fact and independent research.
Charter schools are tuition free, public schools of choice open to any student. Choice is a powerful tool for parents seeking educational equity and equal access to quality education for their children.
Charter schools are committed to serving a student body that reflects the local community. In fact, enrollment figures show that charter school students are just as diverse (racially and economically) as students who attend traditional district schools.
A new report by the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA) finds that charter public schools are helping English Language (“EL”) students do better in school.
Charter schools are delivering on the promise of a great public education, especially in under-served communities. Research shows that charter school students are learning more each year, and graduating ready for college at higher rates.
More and more families are demanding the charter school option as they learn that charter school students are doing better in school. Yet there is still an overwhelming unmet need for quality school options as over 158,000 students are on charter school waiting lists in California.
The overarching mission of the PAL Center is to “Reach Out” and help those who need a “hand up.”
The PAL Center seeks to improve the quality of students’ lives by “connecting the dots” between students, parents, educators, and the community.
The goal is to produce an educational environment that nurtures, excites, and motivates students to learn and realize their potential as members of the global society.
Be sure to schedule a family tour of the PAL Center campus.
Scheduling a Tour of Campus
Please contact our Campus Tour Department at tours@palcenter.org or (909) 887-7002 to schedule your tour. We appreciate you scheduling your tour at least one week in advance.
Your tour will be conducted by a Tour Leader and will last approximately 20-40 minutes. Typically, tours are given to one family at a time, however during high volume months, 2-3 families may be scheduled for the same tour. Parents and students are both encouraged, but not required, to take the tour.
We kindly request that you arrive on time and silence your cell phone before your tour begins.
Tours are held year-round however, we do recommend scheduling tours while school is in session.
Special Campus Tours
Special Campus Tours are offered on all-school Rally days. Your visit to campus will include a tour and the opportunity to attend the Rally with one of our tour leaders. All Special Campus Tours will begin at 10:30 am and conclude at approximately 12:05 pm.
