About the Learning Program

KCA is a public, free charter school forged by local teachers, artists, students, and families who are deeply committed to our home, the Illinois Valley of Southern Oregon. We feature performing, fine and literary arts, with arts-based integration into all classes and community collaborations to enhance real-world learning opportunities. Place-based learning brings our classes on frequent trips off campus into our local community hubs and natural spaces. Youth decision-making, restorative justice, and social-emotional learning empower and support KCA students’ school experience.
