Our Mission

To provide a rigorous, well-rounded education – with a focus on science and sustainability – that helps students acquire the academic and personal skills they need to excel in higher education, think creatively, engage in a diverse society, and pursue their dreams.

Our Vision

To establish educational excellence as a cornerstone of an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable future for Catheys Valley and the greater foothill community.

To fulfill our Mission and Vision, our school will offer:

• An integrative, place-based, college preparatory curriculum for all students
• A cooperative and caring learning environment
• A balanced approach to the development of the mind and body
• Opportunities for collaboration between students, teachers and staff, families, and the community.

Our Plan

SFCS has a five-year plan to open in the 2012-13 school year with students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

SFCS submitted its Charter Petition to the Mariposa County Unified School District on October 10th, 2011, its Prop 39 application on October 31st, and had its public hearing in front of the MCUSD Board of Trustees on November 17th. It is on track to open in the Fall of 2012.
