The John Muir Charter School is located in the Youth One-Stop in, Grover Beach, CA. We work in partnership with the Work Force Investment Act.
Connecting Work and Learning
Our site works with the Youth One-Stop, the Workforce Investment Act, and Cuesta College’s Successful Launch program to provide students with life skills lessons, including work readiness training and work or volunteer experiences. Our curriculum aims to bridge the gap between the classroom and the workplace. Our goal is to provide students with academic and vocational training. Upon graduation we want students to feel confident and prepared for the next step in their life, and leave with a plan for achieving their goals.
Creating a Positive Environment
Our site is a non-traditional classroom, that is located within the Youth One-Stop that converts during school hours to a classroom. We have students from a diverse background and understand that many of our youth are returning back to school after overcoming barriers. Many of our students have always associated learning with failure, ridicule, boredom and frustration. Changing these students' perspective on education can affect their futures in a powerful way.
We opened in October of 2012, and it is our hope that our program continues to grow.
