History and Organization

Liberty Traditional School is an alternative K-8 school in the Humboldt Unified School District, established for the purpose of teaching basic skills. Through the energies of many parents in the area, the Humboldt Unified School District Governing Board established Liberty Traditional School as an alternative school of choice in 1994. It began at the Bradshaw Mountain Middle School campus as a K-6 school. Now the school educates kindergarteners through eighth graders and is located at 3300 Lake Valley Road.

Mission Statement

Liberty Traditional School is a cooperative effort of parents and staff working together to create and uphold a positive, patriotic, highly structured, and challenging core academic learning environment for every student. As partners, we challenge all our children to reach their full potential as life-long learners and responsible citizens.

Philosophy & School Purpose

Liberty Traditional School is an alternative school of choice within the Humboldt Unified School District that will provide a quality education for every student regardless of race, religion, cultural background and intellectual ability. Our high standards are achieved through a rigorous back-to-basics traditional curriculum including systematic phonics instruction, reading, mathematics, science, history, geography, and enrichment through music, art and computers. This provides students with the opportunity to meet or exceed state standards and is achieved by protected academic time, high parental involvement, and productive parent/teacher communication.
