Students striving to reach ambitious goals together as a community.
About Us
City View Charter School was started by a group of passionate parents in 2004 as the only charter school in the Hillsboro School District. Founding families decided upon the EL Education (formerly Expeditionary Learning) model to fill a need for a unique approach to hands-on, project-based education in the Hillsboro School District. The first year, City View was comprised of 65 students, three teachers, and several parent volunteers in blended-grade classrooms.
We believe that all children can excel at learning and that academic distinction can be achieved through inspired leadership and collaborative efforts involving the student’s interests and natural curiosities. We create a rigorous “whole learning environment” where students not only thrive academically but are nurtured and respected as individual members of a community. In keeping with the education standards of the Hillsboro School District, City View Charter School is dedicated to offering all families in our community a high-quality option school that will address students with diverse backgrounds and interests in a positive environment.
