Thank you for your interest in our schools!
Established in 2002 as one of the first charter schools in Idaho, Richard McKenna Charter does education differently. Offering three distinct programs for kindergarten through 12th-grade students, we are equipped to meet the individual learning needs of your child.
Accredited School of Choice
Credits earned at Richard McKenna Charter are accepted at schools across the country and around the world. Regularly, Cognia (formerly known as AdvancEd) conducts a thorough in-person review exploring the rigor of our curriculum, competency of our teaching staff, and overall culture and effectiveness of our school. We proudly display this seal of accreditation.
Our Program
Our non-traditional education environment emphasizes project-based learning, personal responsibility, and outstanding citizenship.
K–8 Program
Elementary students thrive in our multi-age, Montessori classrooms as they learn and grow both academically and socially. Transitioning into the upper grades, students build on their academic skills with project-based learning modules and a focus on character education.
High School
Our two secondary programs prepare high school students for college and career success through either an in-person or online learning experience. Project-based learning modules help in-person students move from abstract educational concepts to real-world application while developing exceptional work-place behaviors. Our online students learn personal responsibility as they work independently through a curriculum that meets and/or exceeds Idaho graduation requirements.
