INSIGHT @ SAN DIEGO

Insight @ San Diego is a Title I public charter school that is part of the Spencer Valley Elementary school district, located in Simi Valley, CA with about 207 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 Diego has a student/teacher ratio of about 29:1. 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 Diego** is a tuition-free, online public charter school that serves students in grades 7 through 12 across San Diego County and surrounding areas. As part of the larger California Virtual Academies network, the school utilizes a K12-powered curriculum to provide a flexible, personalized learning environment designed for students who may benefit from an alternative to the traditional classroom setting. The program is specifically structured to support students who need a more self-paced approach, including those who are credit-deficient, have health concerns, or simply thrive better in a remote, independent-study format.

Beyond its academic curriculum, Insight @ San Diego emphasizes a "whole-student" approach by integrating social-emotional learning and strong teacher support into its virtual model. Students interact with California-credentialed teachers through synchronous live sessions and asynchronous coursework, allowing for a balance between structured guidance and academic independence. By leveraging technology to remove geographic barriers, the school aims to help students who have struggled in conventional school environments regain their academic footing, earn their high school diplomas, and prepare for post-secondary opportunities.
