Salem Community Charter School (SCCS) is a new Horace Mann charter school providing an alternative high school experience for students who have previously struggled in school. SCCS is specifically designed and staffed to serve the needs of students who have dropped out of high school or who are at-risk of dropping out. Through competency-based education, individualized support services and an extended school year, SCCS will engage students in new and exciting ways and inspire them to reach their academic aspirations.
Starting in September 2011, a collaborative of full time staff members and community agencies is offering our founding cohort of fifty students a new beginning. Over the next five years, Salem Community Charter School will grow to serve 125 young men and women.
