It
is Mission Views goal to provide:
A safe and affirming learning environment
Highly qualified teachers
State standards of education
Mission
View Public School
continually seeks to find highly qualified teachers. All of
our teachers hold credentials from the California Department
of Education.
MVPS curriculum meets the California Department of Education
high school graduation requirements. Mission View provides
a safe, secure campus where students can learn in a controlled
environment. Courses are taught by highly qualified, credentialed,
and supportive teachers trained to meet the needs of the students.
Using the information gained through assessment, student skill
level and student interests, and their own Supervising Teacher
assists the student in making initial course selections. As
progress increases and interests change the selection of the
courses of study may be modified.
Mission
View Public School
believes that part of its unique mission is to personalize
the learning process to meet the ability, pace and interest
of the student. In order to achieve this goal a diagnostic
computerized assessment is made of the math and reading ability
of all newly registered students. These assessment scores
play a very important part in assisting the Supervising Teacher
in enrolling the student in classes appropriate to his/her
skill level. The academic progress of each student continues
to be measured by the same assessment process at the end of
each semester.
Mission View believes that math and reading skills are the
basic components of academic success. To help the student
broaden math proficiency, classes of Basic Math Skills, Pre-algebra,
Algebra 1 and Geometry are offered.
Students reading below grade level have the opportunity to
be a part of our Power Reading Program. This course is designed
specifically to meet individual reading needs. Many of our
students have made remarkable progress after only 12 weeks
of study. Small classes with individualized instruction and
extra tutoring support these programs.
To broaden the students educational experience elective
classes in art, Spanish and computer technology are available,
along with many others. For seniors making plans for careers
and college, the Senior Portfolio class provides a learning
experience that gives each student the opportunity to be familiarized
with the process of decision making, job searches, employment
applications, college applications and participating in job
interviews. Being a part of community service projects or
participating in job-shadowing gives the student
skills for the adult world.
Employed students can earn high school elective credits. Work
permits are issued to students at MVPS so that students can
earn elective credit by working or volunteering. Contact a
MVPS teacher for more information.
