Twin Peaks Charter Academy offers kids K-12 access to a wonderful education and families access to a cooperative community. Through the Core Knowledge and Classical Education programs, students receive a well-rounded education and score high on state and national tests. The faculty and staff are very caring and the Board of Directors works well with the families to achieve goals. The school continually receives state-based awards for academic achievement. I am so glad we chose to send our daughter here. Close Quote
