Our Santa Ana Student Center prides itself on small class sizes, free daily meals, free after-school care, and a close-knit school community where every child on campus is known, supported, and inspired to thrive.
Quest Academy (TK-8): at our Santa Ana Student Center offers a full-time, tuition-free learning experience designed to spark curiosity and deepen understanding. Rooted in Montessori-aligned principles and powered by a STEAM-focused curriculum, students explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Whether modeling the phases of the moon, studying the structures of plants, or experimenting with solar energy, students are encouraged to ask questions, collaborate, and engage with real-world concepts.
Homeschool Learning Center (K-12): offers pick-and-choose courses for students who are primarily homeschooled. These courses include art, drama, and math for K-8, and advanced mathematics, lab sciences, and language classes for high school.

Springs Charter School Santa Ana Student Center (TK-8)
Springs’ SantaAna Student Center (SASC) held its 3rd annual Open Closet, which invited SASC families to “shop” for free clothing and shoes, reported Elisa Cornelius, school counselor. Items were donated from throughout Orange County and required a U-Haul to transport all the donated items.
The Santa Ana Student Center celebrated Kindness week, reported Principal Priscilla Doorbar, “encouraging students to reflect on how kindness can create a better world.”
Representatives of the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE) visited the Santa Ana Student Center, reported Principal Priscilla Doorbar. They toured classrooms and spoke to students to learn about the Center’s academic instruction and classroom culture.
TK and 1st-grade students at the Santa Ana Student Center “did awesome” on their inaugural spelling test, a “milestone” in their “learning journey,” reported Principal Priscilla Doorbar. She continued, “For many of our young learners, this was their first experience with spelling assessments, and it was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they applied the skills they've been practicing in class.
My daughter was homeschooled exclusively grades K-5 and her scores were “below basic.” After three years at Springs Charter Schools, she is scoring “advanced.” Her confidence has soared in the supportive Springs Charter Schools environment.
