MESA VALLEY COMMUNITY SCHOOL
MVCS offers a homeschool enrichment program and a full-time standards-based educational program which center on small, blended-learning classes. Through both programs, we encourage students to be active participants in their own education and apply their learning to daily life, meaningful employment, and further studies.
Our sincere appreciation to the Grand Junction Commission on Arts and Culture for presenting MVCS with a $2,000 grant for MS/HS Art and Music.

Our Vision:
MVCS envisions producing equipped and confident graduates by bridging homeschool and public school, providing choice to parents, personalizing education for students, honoring community connectedness, and encouraging learning as a way of life.
Our Philosophy:
We exist to serve both the homeschool population and students who benefit from a blended learning school option, providing a distinct, common culture for our students and allowing them to build supportive and positive social connections.
We believe in providing personalized education that provides a gradual release of responsibility to the student, preparing all students for college and career opportunities.
We believe that students should not spend the majority of their time in a classroom and that classes should be small enough to allow individual attention.
We believe that instruction should include rigorous, scaffolded expectations that support students of all types. Curriculum should be standards-based, include a living book approach when possible, and emphasize real-life applications.
We believe that students benefit from an à la carte scheduling approach which involves the parent at all grades.
We believe that students need a caring adult to guide them through the educational process. Students are most likely to be successful if their parents are strongly involved in educational decision-making, are engaged and connected to what their children are doing in school, and support them to consistently engage with learning.
What is a Charter School?
“Families come in all shapes and sizes. That’s also true of the public school family. As part of the public school family, charter schools are a unique and important component of Colorado’s K-12 education system.”
