CLC provides a small school environment with an emphasis on technology and project-based learning. CLC offers the small school setting and individual attention that middle school students need. The school has two teachers in each classroom and two full-time support teachers, creating a healthy 1:10 teacher-student ratio.

Finally, all community members are on a first name basis with each other. This helps to create and maintain an environment of mutual respect amongst students, teachers, and families of CLC.

• NITTANY VALLEY CS

  
  

  Nittany Valley Charter School opened its doors to students in grades 1-8 in September of 1998. This was only the second year that charter schools were in existence in Pennsylvania. Since that date, the school has continued to offer individualized learning opportunities to students in the State College Area district. The original charter was renewed in 2001 for a five-year period and again in 2006 for another five years. We believe that school must be able to accommodate each child's individual learning style and developmental pace, and respond not only to their intellectual needs, but also to their emotional, social, and physical needs. The Nittany Valley Charter School embodies a philosophy based on individualized instruction, small classes, and a flexible, open classroom environment

• WONDERLAND CS

  
  

  Wonderland Charter School is a full-day kindergarten through 3rd grade school whose vision is that each child is an individual that requires an educational model to recognize in detail each child's strengths and weaknesses. The traditional 'one-size fits all' educational model allows many children to drop through the crack, not to develop to their full potential, or to develop into discipline problems with a commensurate disdain for school. The education that each child needs to receive has to be geared to their specific needs. Weaknesses must be overcome and strengths must be enhanced to bolster their self-esteem and provide a solid foundation for future schooling. Our vision is to meet each child's needs educationally, emotionally, and socially before they enter first grade.

• YOUNG SCHOLARS OF CENTRAL PA CS

  
  

  Young Scholars of Central PA Charter School(YSCP) in State College, Pa., focuses on teaching students to be life-long learners and prepares them for a global economy. Our tuition-free school offers a rigorous curriculum in a fun and interactive environment, emphasizing world cultures. YSCP limits class size to only 20 students and offers many opportunities for parents to be involved with school activities. YSCP has received numerous Keystone Achievement Awards from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and scores highly on yearly progress reports. YSCP focuses on two student constituencies: those native speakers of American English who wish to engage a curriculum which fosters a global perspective and promotes appreciation and understanding of world regions, cultures, and global issues, and those whose native language is not American English, during their transition into the American educational system and culture.Through an innovative language immersion program, which relies heavily on a rigorous academic curriculum for mastery of core knowledge and skills, YSCPCS seeks to develop students (initially, K-5) who are conversant in at least two major world languages (in addition to English), who understand the interdependence of the world's peoples, and who attain proficiency not only in basic academic subjects, but also in knowledge of other countries, their people, and their roles in influencing world history and present international issues.This school recognizes that academic abilities range from the intellectually gifted to the academically challenged. Each student will be encouraged, through adaptations or additions to individual programs of study, to strive for his or her maximum potential. The educational environment includes families, teachers and students communicating on a regular basis to assess and optimize students' successes and to incorporate activities which contribute to complete personal, social, physical and esteem development.
