​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) - This school offers a 50/50 model Spanish and English dual language program model from TK-3rd grades.  It is located on Wardrobe Avenue in Merced, CA. This is an in person daily school.

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.
