What is a Public Charter School?
Algoma Venture Academy (AVA) is a public charter school—meaning it’s tuition-free and open to all students in the district—but it also offers an alternative approach to learning within the public school system. AVA combines the accountability of a public school with innovative teaching methods, project-based learning, and community engagement. This gives families in our area an additional option for their child’s education.
Innovation and Autonomy
A hallmark of AVA is the flexibility we have as a public charter school. Educators design curricula, teaching methods, and learning experiences tailored to students’ needs. This autonomy allows us to implement creative approaches, including project-based learning, personalized schedules, and hands-on activities that connect classroom learning to real-world experiences.
Parental Choice and Customization
Public charter schools like AVA give families the power to choose a learning environment that aligns with their child’s interests and learning style. By emphasizing personalized learning paths, students explore subjects in depth, develop ownership over their education, and engage in experiences that resonate with their strengths.
Specialized Learning Opportunities
AVA provides specialized programs that focus on student interests, such as STEM, arts, and project-based learning. These programs give students the chance to dive deeply into areas they are passionate about while building skills that prepare them for college and career success.
Accountability and High Standards
As a public charter school, AVA is accountable to state standards and performance expectations. While we innovate in how we teach, students are still required to meet rigorous academic benchmarks, ensuring they are fully prepared to graduate and succeed beyond high school.
Why AVA is a Public Charter School Option
AVA provides families in our area with a public school alternative that combines innovation, personalization, and community engagement. By choosing AVA, students gain access to project-based learning, experiential opportunities, and a supportive environment—all within the public school system.
