Mission Statement C.O.R.E. Placer utilizes the Independent study/personalized learning approach. We support choice of approved and adopted curriculum to meet Common Core State Standards (“CCSS”) in our core courses and to engage parents along with students in learning. C.O.R.E. Placer utilizes only school-approved vendors and courses within the local and expanded community. Our goal is to help students achieve significant measurable academic growth in addition to providing opportunities to develop and enhance social and life skills necessary for their future success. We seek to enable our students to become self-motivated, competent, and lifelong learners.

Vision Statement To educate, elevate and empower C.O.R.E. Placer students to achieve academic success in a personalized learning setting. The key to success in personalized learning is the guidance of an assigned, certificated Personalized Learning Teacher (“PLT”) who works with and leads students and parents through the process of developing the personalized learning plan. The personalized learning approach encourages students to be highly involved in their own educational process, thereby becoming self-motivated, competent, life-long learners.
