Grass Valley, California – Bitney Prep Charter High School in Grass Valley has announced its next Parent Information Night where students and their families can learn more about why Bitney is such a unique educational option for Nevada County youth.
The upcoming Parent Information Night will be held on the Bitney Prep campus, 135 Joerschke Drive, Grass Valley, from 5:30 to 6:30 on February 27, 2025.
Entering its 27th year as an alternative to the traditional high school experience for Nevada County teens, Bitney Prep is a welcoming and dynamic space for students to express their best selves safely. All backgrounds and beliefs are welcome. Bitney is a small campus with 100 students enrolled. This means that students get the individual attention they need to succeed.
Bitney Prep believes that a one-size-fits-all industrial approach to education doesn’t match the needs of today’s young people. Bitney Prep teachers know their students as individuals. They design their program to meet the needs of their students, capture their attention, expand their horizons, and prepare them to meet the future they want, one student at a time. From creative scheduling to a robust advisory program, Bitney gives its students the agency to direct their education.
In 2015, Bitney Prep became part of the Big Picture Network, an innovative, student-centered group of schools focused on bringing the best educational and support practices to students to prepare them for the demands of the modern world.
An integral part of the Big Picture philosophy is real-world learning. Every Wednesday, all Bitney Prep students from grades 9 to 12 are in the community doing hands-on learning at an internship of their choice. Bitney’s unique, dynamic, full-day Internship Program puts its students into the workspace where they learn the professional and soft skills they’ll need to follow their passions and succeed in the future.
Bitney Prep also offers dual-enrollment classes through Sierra College for students looking to get a head start on their college coursework.
Parents of students enrolled at Bitney Prep cannot say enough good things about their children’s experiences at the school. “My child has made a complete 180. She used to miss a lot of school last year due to bullying and anxiety, but now she is excited about going to school and hasn’t missed any days,” says one parent. Another parent says about their student’s experience, “He says nothing but positive things about Bitney. I love seeing my child happy and excited about school!”
