A Charter School That Works for Homeschoolers: River's Edge Academy Charter School helps to put parents and learners in charge of education

Cecile Enright is the founder of River's Edge Academy Charter School (REACH), which she launched in 2011 with 70 students in a leased church space in rural Rogue River, Oregon. Today, the school serves over 200 students in two locations. REACH is a K-12 hybrid charter school, enabling students to be on campus for part of the week and to learn from home or in the community for the remainder of the week, often taking enrichment classes in areas such as art, music, and 4-H with local community partners. As a charter school, REACH students attend tuition-free.  *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at fee.org/liberated.
