Your Success is Our Passion

For the past 12 years, we’ve been helping students who have dropped out of high school. We provide them with weekly mentoring, curriculum that is relevant and hands-on, tutoring and options for apprenticeships or post-secondary classes, and flexible scheduling.

One Step Ahead

Why We Are Your Choice

Let’s face it, the traditional school for many students is boring, test-oriented, and a place where you don’t feel you belong. Choice Charter School seeks to make school relevant, more hands-on, and a place where all feel you belong.

About us

Choice Charter School is a registered, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. It is also an approved Iowa Public High School that is a response to the 4000 Iowa students who drop out each year due to medical factors, frequent moves, emotional drama, or other concerns.  Sometimes a traditional brick-and-mortar school is a poor fit for individual students. We are here to offer a different way forward that combines projects, career interests, and community partners to move your dreams forward.  Find out more by contacting us or supporting us financially.

Student Testimonials

“After six years of being out of school and tons of searching to find a school that would work with my disabilities, my prayers were finally answered…

Dr. Knight immediately responded and reached out to my family and I. She came to my home and personally talked with me about the program she had to offer. She told me I have a chance to finally get to be a high school graduate. I couldn’t believe my dreams of graduating were becoming my reality. ”

“I love this school and everyone in it because it gave me an opportunity to graduate with a diploma when no other schools would even glance in my direction because of my anxiety. I’m forever thankful to you and every other teacher who have helped me throughout this year and I look forward to graduating a jordahl academy student and pursuing my dreams of becoming a pharmaceutical scientist. ”
