What is Venture?

Venture is a fully accredited comprehensive high school which delivers the curriculum through independent study. Students come to Venture once a week and spend several hours with their teacher. Students receive weekly assignments at that time, and are expected to spend a minimum of 20 hours a week on academic work. Venture students are highly capable learners.

Students attend Venture by choice. Venture helps students to pursue their educational opportunites outside the classroom, yet within the framework of the educational requirements of the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. The nature of the independent study program gives students the opportunity to personalize their instruction and the freedom to utilize resources and activities to create an exciting and flexible educational experience. While attending Venture, many students take courses concurrently at the local junior colleges. Students learn and practice the self discipline necessary for future success.
