The Crossroads Charter Academy is sponsored by the Armona Union Elementary School District. The charter was approved by the AUESD Board of Trustees in 2003 and began as a 3rd through 8th hybrid independent study program with a required classroom component. In 2005, charter was re-written to include all grades and opened the learning center in Hanford. In the summer 2010, we relocated our Hanford lab and offices to our current location on W. Lacey Blvd.
Option 1:
For students (grades 4-12) they have the option to use the school's computer lab for up-to 3 hrs each day. We allow student to enter and leave at any point throughout the day, but recommend that they come in either the morning or the afternoon. We do not allow breaks, outside of the lab, and once they leave they are not allowed to return.

Option 2:
Under this option the program is a true independent study program. The student uses a personal computer and internet access at home to complete all of the lessons. This is the option most frequently used, but does not restrict the student from using the school's lab as needed.
Parent/Guardian & student must meet with a certified teacher each week, for a minimum of 30 min., to discuss student progress and collect work samples. Crossroads offers many freedoms; we have found these meetings necessary to keep the students on track. Students will be asked to participate in school and state mandated testing; failure to do so will generally lead to dismissal from the program.
Our program goals include:
- Offering students and parents a quality educational alternative to the traditional classroom and social environment
- Providing students with opportunities for academic ownership
- Developing activities for students to learn self-respect, community respect and respect for others
- Focusing on academics and resources to improve the individual's understanding to improve scores CST, CAT/6 and the CAHSEE
- Promoting individual reading and math growth
- Involving students in maintaining a safe and orderly learning environment
- Utilizing the latest technology to deliver an outstanding curriculum
