INSIGHT @ SAN JOAQUIN

Insight @ San Joaquin is a Title I public charter school that is part of the New Jerusalem Elementary school district, located in Simi Valley, CA with about 230 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 7 teachers, Insight @ San Joaquin has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. 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.

Insight @ San Joaquin is a tuition-free, online public charter school that serves students in grades 9 through 12. Operating under the umbrella of the California Virtual Academies, the school utilizes a state-approved curriculum delivered through an online platform, allowing students to complete their coursework from home. The program is designed to be flexible, catering to students who may need a non-traditional educational environment, such as those pursuing extracurricular interests, athletes, or students who require a more personalized pace to succeed academically.

The school places a strong emphasis on student support by pairing online instruction with certified teachers who provide guidance, track progress, and facilitate communication through virtual classrooms and phone calls. In addition to core academic subjects, Insight @ San Joaquin often integrates social-emotional learning and career-readiness resources to help students prepare for life after graduation. By combining the independence of virtual learning with structured teacher support, the school aims to provide a path to a high school diploma for students who are not finding success in a conventional brick-and-mortar school setting.
