Located in Hillsboro, City View Charter School is a public, tuition-free school that follows the EL Education (formerly Expeditionary Learning) model. The curriculum is centered on "Learning Expeditions," which are long-term, in-depth investigations of a single topic (such as local ecology or civil rights) that challenge students to produce high-quality work for real-world audiences. Rather than sitting in rows for isolated subjects, students work in "Crews," a collaborative structure where small groups and their teachers stay together to focus on both academic achievement and character development.

A major differentiator is the school's commitment to "Fieldwork" and service learning, where students frequently leave the classroom to conduct primary research with local experts and community partners. The K-8 structure allows for a strong sense of continuity, and the school emphasizes three core "Dimensions of Student Achievement": mastery of knowledge and skills, high-quality work, and student character. The week includes a balance of core academics with physical education, music, and art, all integrated through the lens of discovery and craftsmanship.
