MISSION STATEMENT:
We foster an academic environment where students are inspired to meet high standards through active learning in a small school setting. REALMS is an Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound school. We emphasize interdisciplinary, experiential learning that
immerses students in issues that are relevant to them and to our community. This approach to teaching and learning encourages students to develop strong academic skills and to use those new skills to solve real problems in our community. Investigations often lead students and staff out of the classroom to complete field studies connected to classroom work. This focus on academics and real world learning is complimented by our attention to character growth. REALMS is a public charter school (no tuition), and all students in the Bend-La Pine School District are eligible to apply. Registration is ongoing.
