RICHARD MCKENNA CHARTER SCHOOL - ONLINE

Richard McKenna Charter School (RMCS) – Online is a public charter school based in Mountain Home, Idaho, that offers a flexible, individualized approach to K-12 education. By leveraging a virtual learning environment, the school serves students across the state who may require a non-traditional setting, such as those seeking advanced pacing, credit recovery, or the ability to balance academics with personal commitments. The online program is designed to provide students with the independence to manage their own schedules while maintaining access to certified teachers and a structured curriculum.

The school emphasizes a project-based learning model and focuses on "self-directed" education, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning journey. Because it is a public charter, tuition is free, and the program is governed by its own board, allowing it to operate with more autonomy than traditional district schools. Whether for students who thrive outside of a brick-and-mortar classroom or those who need a more personalized educational plan, Richard McKenna’s online division provides a pathway to graduation that prioritizes flexibility and student autonomy.
