In early 2016, a new charter school named Century Charter School was planned to open for the 2016-17 school year. The school is now planned to open in the 2017-18 school year due to complications finding a location for the school and lacking enrollment, according to the school’s principal, Adelante High School assistant principal Sybil Healy.

“Part of it was due to enrollment, because most of the enrollment occurs at a late date, and also because of some other agreements that we needed to finalize with the district,” Healy said.

Although the school faced complications, Healy is optimistic about the school opening and plans to use the 2016-17 school year to further prepare.

“We are using 2016-2017 as a planning year with our 375,000 dollar grant,” Healy said. “We will use that to hire employees and market for students, and work on ordering school materials, including technology, computers, etcetera. So this will be a good opportunity to plan and fill out our community outreach to open the school next year in the fall.”

Healy has high hopes about the future of the charter school and the vision she has for it.

“We’re very excited to establish a charter high school in the roseville area that is internationally focused,” Healy said.
