Letter from our Principal
New Roots Charter School was designed to teach young people to be resilient, adaptable, and innovative in the face of large-scale changes anticipated in this century due to global climate change. A global pandemic has given our school an opportunity to shine, demonstrating how we walk our talk!
At a time when high school education in many large districts has been reduced to weekly assignments with little opportunity for teacher-student contact, New Roots Charter School has pivoted gracefully, providing a schedule of weekly online instruction in all subject areas, including advanced math and science courses and courses for college credit as well as art, music, and other electives.
