Independent Study
Shasta County Independent Study Charter School (SCISCS) is an alternative to conventional educational settings, allowing students to complete coursework independently under the supervision of a credentialed teacher. Students meet individually with an assigned teacher a minimum of one time per week. SCISCS is voluntary and provides the flexibility to meet students’ specific needs, interests and learning styles. Our Independent Study teachers utilize State and district-adopted curriculum to insure students meet or exceed California graduation requirements. Instruction is offered at two locations in Redding—one on the Shasta College campus, the other at 1524 Magnolia Ave.

Shasta County Juvenile Court School
The Shasta County Juvenile Court School (SCJCS) serves youth who are wards of the court.
Students remanded to the Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility attend the SCJCS operated by the Shasta County Office of Education. Frequently called Richard B. Eaton, interagency support is coordinated to assure the academic and social-emotional needs of students are met. Our program provides 1.4 teachers, a .4 RSP Teacher and 2 para-educators for small group, individualized instruction and after school programming. The program is increasing graduation rates and students are making significant progress towards credit recovery while receiving the support necessary to rectify their behaviors.
This program is very restrictive with boundaries that are clearly delineated by Juvenile Probation. The SCJCS is located in the Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility secure facilities and is supervised by probation staff.
