Shasta County Independent Study

Shasta County Independent Study serves families in the Redding area who need a flexible alternative to traditional schooling — whether that's due to scheduling, learning style, or personal circumstances. Redding itself is a rugged, outdoorsy city in the upper Sacramento Valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the independent study model here tends to attract families who value that kind of self-directed, non-conventional lifestyle. Academic outcomes lean toward the lower end of the spectrum, so families considering this path may want to be proactive about supplementing the curriculum, particularly in math and English.
