Comments and Other Information

Ocean Grove Charter School is an equal opportunity employer with a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. Applications by members of underrepresented groups are encouraged!

The unique independent study hybrid online classes offered through the IEM Online Instruction program are designed to provide our students with access to subject-area specific, credentialed instructors to ensure student success with high school level academics. Students meet with the instructor virtually for either 120 mins twice each week (CBi classes) or 90 mins once a week for direct instruction. Students also spend time working outside of class, at home under the supervision of their parents.

Instructors and students complete asynchronous assignments and discussions on our school's LMS - Schoology. Class sizes typically range from 12 to 35 students. Students from any of our 3 charter schools (Ocean Grove, Sky Mountain, and South Sutter) can participate in Online Instruction classes. This past year, over 20 instructors from across the state helped offer nearly 100 different classes in subjects ranging from the academic core (ELA, Math, Social Science, Science) to amazing electives (Spanish, 3D Printing, History of World Religions, etc)! We're a growing program within the IEM broader IEM charter network and will be offering even more classes in future years!
