Enrollment

Thank you for your interest in Forest Charter School. Our program is committed to the educational success of each student. Based on this commitment, Forest Charter School interviews each student and family to ensure our personalized learning program is the best fit for your student. To enroll, please download and complete our Enrollment Application (PDF: 12K) and contact the office at (530) 265-4823 to schedule an interview appointment.

Upon acceptance for admission, and each semester thereafter, all students and their parents are required to sign an enrollment contract.  This contract delineates the roll of student, parent and education specialist (ES) in the education of the student. Non-compliance with this document can result in expulsion.
