School Overview

Six Rivers Charter High School, located in Arcata, California, serves as an alternative, small-school learning environment within the Northern Humboldt Union High School District. Designed to provide a more personalized educational experience, the school emphasizes a close-knit community atmosphere where students can benefit from smaller class sizes and more direct interaction with faculty. The curriculum is focused on preparing students for post-secondary success, whether that involves transitioning to college, vocational training, or the workforce.

The school is known for its focus on independent study and project-based learning, which allows students to engage with their education in a flexible, self-directed manner. By fostering an environment that encourages autonomy and individual responsibility, Six Rivers aims to support students who may thrive outside of a traditional, comprehensive high school setting. Through its connection to the broader Northern Humboldt district, the school maintains academic standards while providing the unique social and structural support necessary to help its diverse student body reach their graduation goals.
