Welcome to Placer Academy, an Independent Study extension of Harvest Ridge Cooperative Charter School serving students in Lincoln, Rocklin and Roseville areas. Our unique program, based on Core Knowledge® and Project Based Learning, provides small class, differentiated learning and a challenging curriculum. At the closure of the Accelerated Learning Academy with Horizon schools, our parent community bridged the move under the Harvest Ridge charter to continue our amazing program and keep our phenomenal teachers.
