Circle of Independent Learning

Circle of Independent Learning is a K-12 charter school in Fremont that draws families who want something a little different — a self-directed, inquiry-based approach that lets kids take ownership of their education from an early age all the way through high school. Fremont itself is a diverse, family-friendly East Bay city with a strong emphasis on education, sandwiched between the tech corridors of Silicon Valley and Oakland, so the community here tends to be engaged and academically motivated. With scores landing in the 84th percentile overall and strong English results, this is a solid choice for families who value independent thinking and a close-knit school culture over a more traditional classroom environment.
