  • NCS Program Applications Now Available
    01/05/2012 - 09:30

    Applications for all five academies for the 2012-2013 school year, including the new Virtual Learning Academy, are now available on each program website. Click on the program name at the top of this Main Page, or click on the program below to be forwarded to each program website. 

    PLEASE NOTE: As part of the application process, we have asked for some additional documents and information to best serve your child from the first day he/she enters the school.   Documents requested as part of the application process (i.e. recommendation form) are used for informational purposes only and are not used to determine admissions to Natomas Charter School. Our application process fully aligns with our core philosophy of knowing and understanding each child’s needs when he/she enters the school; therefore, the recommendation form is simply requesting your child’s previous teacher for any input he/she may wish to provide.  If this is not possible, please be assured that you may simply submit your completed application packet without the recommendation form.

    We appreciate your time in completing the application packet. Thank you for your interest in one of our Natomas Charter School academies.

    Sincerely,

    Charlie Leo, NCS Executive Director

Welcome to Natomas Charter School

Natomas Charter School (NCS) was approved by the Natomas Unified School District Board of Trustees in the spring of 1993 and began operations in the fall of 1993. From the beginning, Natomas Charter School has sought to provide students and parents with expanded choices in the types of educational opportunities that are available within the public school system. The overall goal of the school's charter is to establish a variety of innovative educational programs that will accommodate its diverse student population. Natomas Charter School provides K-12 students the opportunity to develop unique interests, uncover hidden talents, experience satisfaction in accomplishments, gain a sense of responsibility, and pursue education as a way of life through educational programs tailored to their own specific needs.

NCS Educational Programs have the following elements as established in the charter:

  • High Academic Expectations
  • Parental Involvement
  • Community Involvement
  • Active "Real-Life" Learning
  • Differential Academic Plans
  • Technology Emphasis
 

The Natomas Charter School shall be nonsectarian in its programs, admissions policies, employment practices and all other operations, shall not charge tuition, and shall not discriminate against any pupil on the basis of ethnicity, national origin, gender, or disability.
