A NEW EXPERIENCE in Education
The Holden Rural Academy is a public charter school that was approved by the Minister of Education in July 2022. We offer Place-Based Education to grade 7 – 12 students – where learning takes place in the classroom and in the community.
Our staff work together with students and families to develop an education plan that has clear expectations for academic achievement and helps students develop career goals.
After a morning devoted to core courses, students are able to choose from a variety of projects in the afternoon, many of them off-campus.
We operate on a 4 day week that runs, most often, from Monday to Thursday (with some exceptions).
