Shenandoah High School is a unique charter school within the El Dorado Union High School District. Shenandoah is not a vocational school or a continuation program; we provide students and families a choice in how they learn. Shenandoah is part of the Big Picture network of schools. The Big Picture school network has over 60 schools nationwide and internationally.

Shenandoah features:

• A small learning community: The student population is approximately 100. There are currently three full time advisors, two part time advisors, one director, one part time RSP teacher, one L.T.I. coordinator, and one secretary.

• Real world learning: Students complete their academic curriculum through self made projects and internships in the community. Students are required to complete 300 hours of community service in the four years they spend at Shenandoah.
  

• Open curriculum: Students at Shenandoah make independent projects that they use to complete learning goals, and further their knowlege on the subject of choice. Students can be enrolled in college classes and ROP programs. Students also get the possibility to study abroad, help the community, and learn how certain careers work first-hand through internships. The educational program is designed to fit each student’s individual passions and interests.

• Committees: Instead of after school clubs, Shenandoah has student formed committees during school. These committees are intended to help with problems at the school and also help form leadership skills.

We are currently enrolling students! To schedule a shadow day (school tour) and to get further information contact us at: (530) 622-6212.
