Achieving Academic Excellence. . . .the American Way!!!!
AMC has the same agreement with Wasilla High's area bus system. There is a transfer bus in the morning and afternoon.
Additionally, AMC has two buses that pick up and drop off students in areas not covered by the Houston and Wasilla buses.
AMC's Mission: Achieving academic excellence..... the American way!
American Charter Academy is one of Mat-Su Valley’s public charter schools that offers families and students an educational choice other than their neighborhood school. Enrollment at American Charter requires an application and conference and is lottery based. AMC offers a standards-based education model along with a project-based core knowledge framework. At AMC, students continue learning at home with daily homework expectations, and teachers ensure students keep on track by communicating frequently with parents.
In addition to a standards-based curriculum, AMC has a blended learning program. All students participate in teacher-led instruction and discussions as well as computer-based learning. Using a blend of delivery methods (computer, teacher, hands-on projects or experimental labs and working collaboratively), students are able to build on their strengths and work through their weaknesses.
Along with classroom instruction, American Charter also offers a wide variety of place-based learning opportunities, making use of our natural habitat for science and outdoor activities.
Students wanting to prepare for success after graduation by applying themselves in a rigorous academic environment are a good match for AMC. They will be prepared for post-secondary education and/or the career of their choice.
