History

Established in 2010.

The State Board of Education approved the petition for the Livermore Valley Charter Preparatory High School in July 2009, and the High School opened its doors in August 2010 to its first 9^th grade class. However, the LVCP story really began in 2004 when in response to the closing of two local public elementary schools, parents, and educators started the Livermore Valley Charter School (LVCS). LVCS is still open today and has over 900 students in grades K-​8^th.

The Livermore Valley Charter Preparatory High School’s philosophy of education is a natural progression from that of the Livermore Valley Charter School. The High School provides a college preparatory education in an individualized, creative, collaborative, experiential and emotionally supportive environment that challenges every student to reach his or her potential. Class sizes are between 22 to 25 students and can never exceed an average student/​teacher ratio of 27:1, according to the High School’s charter.
