The mission of Charisma High School is to provide high school level students with an opportunity to gain an education that adheres with world class standards.

The vision statement of Charisma is: We are dedicated to shaping responsible citizens with strong ethical and leadership qualities that will enable them to become competitive, highly motivated, skilled and well-informed professionals of the future.

• To present online high school education that is flexible, efficient and learner-centered.
• To provide educational opportunities for a broad range of students, including, nontraditional students, adult learners, international students, learners with special needs, and others who want to pursue an independent study program that enables them to obtain a high school diploma.
• To enable high school level students an opportunity to engage in excellent-quality online learning experiences before they graduate.
• To deliver high school level education according to California standards, designed and taught by California-certified instructors.

Charisma High School is distance education institution and as such, instructional strategies consider the different contexts of the online learning environment. Therefore, instructional strategies promote self-regulation and self-motivation among learners. Teachers ensure that their pedagogical approaches are learner centered and therefore use multimedia tools, small group online discussions that encourage collaboration as well learning contracts between instructor and student detailing what will be learned, how it will be learned and the assessment criteria to be used.

Statistical data that Charisma High School will be collecting in order to monitor student progress are student achievement data, including, results from curriculum-based unit tests, class projects, classroom and homework and IEPs. Teachers are in charge of preparing annual, interim, and classroom-level data for analysis. They are required to present the data in aggregate form.

All of the statistical data are made available to students' parents upon request. Reporting on the statistical data for parents is done on a quarterly basis.

Charisma High School has a policy for the reporting of student progress to parents.

The three procedures used are parent conferences, written progress reports as well as report cards. Parent conferences are set at the district level but every teacher at Charisma High School prepares a parent conference report in order to cultivate effective communication regarding student progress. Every time report cards are handed out, parents are welcome to consult on a one-on-one basis with teachers in order to obtain student progress updates.

A well-developed curriculum is one that enhances learners' comprehension about the world around them and adequately prepares them for the chosen profession. It builds students' experiences and improves their critical thinking skills so that they would be able to navigate the anticipated complexities of the 21st century. Through an effective curriculum, students will value scientific inquiry, different cultural perspectives and the application of theory to practice. All these are reflected in the Charisma High School curriculum.

Because of Charisma High School's curriculum, there has been a noted improvement in students' approach to problem solving and critical analysis. By means of exposure to relevant literature, Charisma High School students have become more responsive to pertinent socio-political issues as well as issues that impact the economy and environment; and have increased value and appreciation for liberty, democracy, and responsibility.

Charisma High School's academic and personal counseling and guidance services are conducted in an online environment where students feel safe and accepted. This way, they have no fears about showing possible vulnerabilities that may have. So far, career development-focused interventions have generated the greatest positive impacts on academic outcomes. Referral services are undertaken by a Referral Committee through the use of an assessment framework.
