Mendocino Alternative School independent study's secondary-level coursework most often prepares students for success in community college, technical school or full-time work.  Because lab sciences, foreign languages, AP courses, and the like cannot be offered with the same integrity as is possible in the classroom, MAS does not meet A-G requirements.  Therefore, students who wish to attend a four-year university immediately following high school are not recommended for the program.  However, committed students are welcome to take college prep courses at Mendocino High School, Mendocino Community High, community colleges, or through accredited online programs to complete admission requirements to four-year colleges.

Please speak with your site principal if you or your student is a candidate for independent study through Mendocino Alternative School.
