Placer County Pathways Charter

School Overview
Placer County Pathways Charter, located in Auburn, California, is an independent study program administered by the Placer County Office of Education. Designed as an alternative to the traditional classroom setting, the school provides a flexible, personalized educational environment for students in grades TK–12. By prioritizing individualized learning plans, the charter allows students to progress at their own pace while receiving guidance from credentialed teachers, making it an ideal option for those who need a non-traditional schedule, credit recovery, or an independent learning atmosphere.
