BEAR CREEK COMMUNITY CHARTER SCHOOL

Bear Creek Community Charter School is the first and only free public charter school operating in Luzerne County. Since our opening in 2004 with 98 students, we have grown to an enrollment near the maximum capacity of 606 students... Bear Creek Community Charter School is the proud recipient of a 2021 federal grant under the Expanding Opportunities Through Quality Charter School Programs Grant... The earliest history of the school dates back to Civil War Brigadier General Paul Ambrose Oliver, whose heirs donated the land for the original Oliver School in Bear Creek Township. More than seventy years later, another act of kindness by Mrs. Gail Popple, allowed the tradition of a quality, community-centered public education to continue, with new life being infused into the original school building with the creation of Bear Creek Community Charter School.
