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. 8th St.
Crossroads Charter Academy (CCA) offers an independent study program. Students use personal computers and internet access
at home to complete all of their lessons.
Parent/Guardian & student must meet with a certificated 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.
Students (grades 4-12) also have the option to use the school's drop-in 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.

In addition to our weekly appointments and drop-in lab, we also offer two on-site vocational education electives in the area of
Building Skills and Health Science Careers, small group tutoring, and CAHSEE prep courses.
Our program goals includes:
- 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
