Overview
Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy was founded in 1999 by Dr. William (Bill) Proser. Their mission is "providing a rigorous, content-rich, college preparatory education for any students who are willing to accept the challenge".[2]
Extra-Curricular Achievement
The primary focus of the high school is academics, with intense math, science, history, and literature programs implemented into the system. Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy students are initially placed one year ahead in math than average curriculum requires, and no classes have a lower standard than college preparatory. Recently, Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy has debuted its academic mastery by becoming Regional Science Bowl Champions, dominating with a superlative Academic Team, and shining with state award winning Speech and Debate team.
Not only does Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy excel in academics, but their sports and arts programs also exemplify their proficiency. The Lady Panthers soccer team has won state competitions multiple times, and the school's Cross Country and Track teams have also succeeded at the state level. As said by a 12th grade Senior Representative, Caden Benzinger, "The Lady Panthers excel in both academics and sports. They're a symbol of this school's ability to succeed". In addition, the drama, choir, and band programs continuously excel in their own respective state competitions. The school has many sports options for girls, including soccer, golf, volleyball, tennis, and track and field, while boys have the options of tennis and track and field.
