The Vibrant Minds Charter School Difference

Vibrant Minds Charter School is a TK through 6th grade, free, public charter school. The school first opened on Monday, August 17, 2015, as GOALS Academy. While providing a rigorous academic program, there is also a focus on discovering scholars’ interests and talents and transforming them into strengths through a plethora of enrichment activities. In order to provide this personalized mentoring, the school has a commitment to remain small, with an estimated maximum enrollment of 240 scholars in 2022-2023, with a future enrollment of 420-480 scholars with a new campus in Central Anaheim.

All opportunities are provided completely free of charge. Vibrant Minds Charter School is a sanctioned public school chartered under the authorization of the Anaheim Elementary School District and California Department of Education. It is an independent charter school, which provides the scholars, staff, and parents with the maximum autonomy to co-create a school that matches their hopes, vision, and reality. The past seven years have been phenomenal, with our maximum enrollment of scholars met for the 2021-2022 school year with a waiting list of more than 300 scholars.

"We can't say enough good things about our school! They are true to their mission of developing interests into strengths by offering a wide variety of opportunities for every scholar, both in the regular school day and in the after-school program. Our girls have explored a number of musical instruments, cooking, sewing, coding, woodworking, dance, gymnastics, and vocal performance, just to name a few. And they have embraced a growth mindset as they learn how to tackle projects independently and as part of a team." Alyssa T.

"The scholars at VMCS thrive under the leadership of Dr. Schroeder and the amazing staff. Scholars are challenged, loved, and truly cared for at VMCS. They go above and beyond to provide a safe and supportive environment." Christina S.

Our caring scholars created this beautiful piece of art for a cause. The children holding hands are our own scholars. At our F.A.S.T. Family Event, two duplicate pieces were sold for $250 each, as well as sunflower art pieces that were raffled. In total, $1,500 was raised. If you would like to purchase this work of art, please contact the school at 714-563-2390. Coming soon, we will also have t-shirts for sale with this picture for $20.00. All proceeds will go to support the Ukrainians with a focus on humanitarian relief. Instead of a school fundraiser, this is a Ukrainian fundraiser. Our scholars are learning that they can make a difference.
