Credo High School

Credo High School is a tuition-free, college prep public charter school in Rohnert Park, California, inspired by Waldorf Education and serving students in ninth through twelfth grades. The school will open with a ninth and tenth grade in the fall of 2011, and will add a grade each year until it is fully enrolled through twelfth grade in the 2013-2014 school year. As an alternative public school of the Cotati Rohnert Park Unified School District, Credo will offer a rigorous academic curriculum that exceeds University of California admission requirements and includes a full complement of specialty subjects, including foreign languages (Spanish, Mandarin), visual arts (painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, photography), practical arts (media arts, blacksmithing, woodworking, bookbinding, ceramics) theater, music (choir, percussion, strings, woodwinds, orchestra) movement, dance and physical education, and biodynamic gardening and farming. We will begin with a substantial garden, then grow into a farm campus with a significant sustainable agriculture component where students learn science, respect for the earth and practical skills particularly relevant in agricultural Sonoma County. Sports, clubs and extracurricular programs will be offered after the academic school day. Credo will be accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
