Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy was founded in 1999 by Dr. William (Bill) Proser. Their mission is "providing a rigorous, content-rich, college preparatory education for any students who are willing to accept the challenge".

The primary focus of the high school is academics, with intense math, science, history, and literature programs implemented into the system. Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy students are initially placed one year ahead in math than average curriculum requires, and no classes have a lower standard than college preparatory.
