All in the Family: A Back-to-Basics Charter School Provides Home Schoolers with a Choice They Can Embrace Whole-Heartedly.
Sherman, Lee
Northwest Education, v6 n3 p12-19 Spr 2001
A charter school in Kenai, Alaska, offers back-to-basics curriculum and direct instruction. The school has drawn many home-schoolers back to the public school system, and consistently scores high on standardized tests. The school's success is attributed to teachers' collaboration and common vision, continuity across grades, high academic expectations, and dedicated parent involvement. (TD)
