School Overview
Twin Ridges Home Study (TRHS) Charter is a public, independent study charter school based in Nevada City, California, dedicated to supporting families who choose to educate their children at home. Serving students across Nevada County and several adjacent counties, the school operates on the philosophy that parents are the primary educators of their children. Rather than providing a rigid, one-size-fits-all curriculum, TRHS emphasizes a personalized approach, offering families the flexibility to select educational materials and methods that best align with their individual child's learning style, interests, and developmental needs.
The school functions as a partnership between credentialed teachers and homeschooling parents. Students are typically assigned an educational advisor who meets regularly with the family to help design a learning plan, oversee progress, and ensure that state educational standards are met. By combining the independence of homeschooling with the professional resources, extracurricular activities, and accountability of a public school charter, Twin Ridges provides a robust support system for families seeking a non-traditional, student-centered learning environment.
