WHO ARE WE?
Merced Scholars Charter School (MSCS) is a community initiated and supported charter school that operates as a public school supported by the Merced County Office of Education. MSCS now offers two types of programs.
- Nonclassroom-based (NCB) Program - The original program of MSCS, this program is sometimes referred to as home school or independent study. However, we are much different and much more than that. Our program is a blended, or hybrid, program that is made up of one-on-one meetings with credentialed teachers, home-based work (computer-based asynchronous work), and onsite classes and activities. For high school students, the program will also include dual enrollment or concurrent enrollment classes with Merced College. This program serves students in grades TK-12.
- Dual Language Immersion (DLI) Program - New for the fall of 2022, the DLI program will give students the opportunity to learn two languages, either English and Hmong or English and Spanish. Students will be immersed in both languages for half a school day each, giving them the mastery of both languages by the 6th grade. The school will start with grades TK-1 for the 2022-23 school year and add on one additional grade for each of the following years.
Our mission is to provide a collaborative and inclusive culture for students, parents, staff and community partners in supporting our students with career and college preparation for a seamless transition into both local and global societies. Our goal for our students to build teach the whole child to develop the academic, social, and emotional skills to be successful in their postsecondary lives.
