PARTNERS & COMMUNITY

The Unconventional Path Takes Courage To Choose. Let’s Help Students Choose It.

JMCS is a charter school equipping 14- to 26-year-olds to earn a high school diploma and prepare for a fulfilling career through job training and educational, social, and emotional support that fits into their lives.

How We Work With Students

We partner with workforce development and community organizations to give high school students a personalized option that helps them reach their goals.

Our Partners Make California Home For All Of Us

JMCS exclusively works with organizations that provide California young people and adults with job training. We structure our model to support the independence and distinct goals of each partner, at each site, for each student.

Standing With Partners And Students From Hesitation To Graduation.

“The Nevada County Superintendent of Schools office is a proud partner with the John Muir Charter School. For over a decade, we have worked with JMCS as they have created and maintained outstanding programs for our state's young adults. Academic, social, and emotional support are evident in each of their programs.”

“Partnering with JMCS for the past 19 years has been a great experience. Our teachers have been more than just teachers. They have had to wear several hats (teacher, friend, mother, counselor) to best serve our youth. JMCS provides our youth with a unique learning experience tailored to the population we serve.”
