Members of the GC are the trustees of the nonprofit organization
that runs PCCS. They delegate professional, day-to-day operations of the school
to the Management Team and to the staff, and oversee the financial health and
viability of the organization, and how well the organization is fulfilling its
vision and goals. They make the final decisions on hiring, firing, and renewal
of employment agreements.

Pacific School teachers work collaboratively to select and integrate curricula. Text books are used in all core subjects, but teachers teach beyond the text, supplementing these basics by integrating music, art, literature, field studies and other “real world experiences” into the classroom. Since it is a converted residence, the K-8 site helps create a family atmosphere.

Pacific Community Charter High School (PCCHS) offers an alternative curriculum through a unique combination of small class, multi-grade instruction and the Passage program of six project-based student designed courses. PCCHS extends course offerings through a collaborative relationship with Point Arena High School. The Pacific Charter High School site is located on the Point Arena High School campus. 

The Pacific Community Charter School provides the California coastal communities from Salt Point (Sonoma County) to Elk (Mendocino County), including Gualala and Point Arena, with a publicly funded kindergarten through 12th grade charter school. All K-12 students in these geographic areas are eligible for enrollment. No tuition is charged.

Pacific Community Charter High School requires that each student complete a minimum of eighty (80) hours of community service as a requirement for graduation.

One half of the hours (40) are met through volunteer service contributed to the Pacific School. One half of the hours (40) are met through volunteer service to non-profit organizations or service oriented for-profit organizations or community individuals in need of assistance who are not able to acquire service elsewhere.

Most students try to complete 10 hours of Community Service and 10 hours of School Community Service each year.

There are many opportunities to complete your Service hours. At school, we practice taking care of ourselves, and others, by completing simple work chores each week to keep our environment safe and clean. Students earn School Community Service for completing these chores.

In our community, many organizations thrive on volunteer help, including the Coast Community Library and the Arena Theater.

Opportunities to earn Service Hours are regularly announced in your Community Leadership and Service class.
