Charter Alternative Program (CAP)

The Charter Alternative Program (CAP), operated under the El Dorado County Office of Education (EDCOE), serves as a specialized educational environment designed for students who require an alternative to the traditional classroom setting. The program focuses on providing flexible, personalized learning pathways that cater to students who may be at risk of not graduating, those who need a different pace of instruction, or those seeking an independent study model. By leveraging a charter-based framework, CAP aims to keep students engaged by aligning their academic coursework with their individual needs, strengths, and personal circumstances.

Located in El Dorado, California, the program is dedicated to fostering both academic achievement and personal growth. CAP utilizes a blend of rigorous curriculum and supportive counseling to ensure that students not only meet state graduation requirements but also develop the skills necessary for post-secondary success. By maintaining a smaller, more intimate school culture, the staff at CAP works closely with families to provide a structured yet adaptable educational experience that emphasizes student accountability and long-term goal setting.
