Pillager Area Charter School

Pillager Area Charter School, PACS, for all intents and purposes is an old fashion grade 9-12 rural school. We are located in the country about a half mile outside the city limits of Pillager, MN, in a town with a population of 420. There are a few shops, restaurants, and a traditional public school. Pillager Area Charter School is a different alte... rnative for students from the surrounding area as we are a daytime, experiential, expeditionary school and offer vocational and physical education (PE) on campus. Other area alternative schools, are schools within schools, that typically focus on credit recovery, independent study, after school or seat based computer programs. Our focus on experiential learning and adventure curriculum is different from other alternatives. We have a democratic approach to student input, holding community circle every week. Students, parents, and staff also have the right to call for a community circle or concerned party circle when needs arise that cant wait for the weekly meeting.Read More
