School Overview

Connecting Waters Charter offers something genuinely rare — a K-12 charter experience in the small agricultural community of Waterford, tucked along the Tuolumne River in Stanislaus County. Families who want an alternative to the traditional public school path, especially those drawn to independent study or flexible learning models, tend to gravitate here. Waterford itself is a tight-knit, working-class town where agriculture still shapes daily life, and this school fits naturally into a community that values knowing your neighbors and keeping things local.
