Who We Are

The Monterey Home Charter School (MCHCS) is a K-12 public school of choice that enrolls students in Monterey County and any adjacent counties. MCHCS works in partnership with the parents of our students to help them design an academic program that follows California State Standards and Guidelines. Resource teachers assist parents in developing an educational program that is compatible wit the goals and learning style of their student.

How the Program Works

After enrolling in the MCHCS program, families are assigned a resource teacher that will work with them on a weekly basis. The resource teacher assists families in the design, implementation, and maintenance of a personalized educational program.  The parent then accepts the responsibility of being the primary deliverer of their child's educational program.  In order to do this parents must be able to develop lesson plans, deliver instruction, and correct and access their child's work.  The parent, thus, takes on the role of a classroom teacher and must be able to devote a minimum of four to six hours per day towards the ongoing development of their child's education.

How to Enroll

Families that are interested in the MCHCS program must first attend a weekly informational meeting.  Here, they will learn more specific details about the MCHCS program, and can fill out a "Request for Participation" form.  Families that complete the enrollment process are then assigned a resource teacher and are formally admitted into the MCHCS program.
