TWIN RIVERS CHARTER SCHOOL

Twin Rivers Charter School is a public charter high school that is part of the Eugene SD 4J school district, located in Eugene, OR with about 34 students offering grade levels from 8th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 3 teachers, Twin Rivers Charter School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Twin Rivers Charter School, located in Eugene, Oregon, operates as a unique educational environment closely affiliated with the Northwest Youth Corps (NYC). Rather than functioning as a traditional neighborhood school, it is designed to serve students who benefit from an alternative, hands-on approach to learning. The school integrates rigorous academic coursework with the experiential, outdoor-focused philosophy of the Northwest Youth Corps, emphasizing personal growth, environmental stewardship, and community service.

The program is specifically structured to support students who may have struggled in conventional classroom settings by providing a supportive community and a curriculum that values practical skill-building. By leveraging the outdoor education infrastructure of the Northwest Youth Corps, Twin Rivers Charter School offers a path to high school completion that combines standard academic requirements with vocational training, physical activity, and character development, preparing students for both future education and the workforce.
