Mountain Home Charter (Alternative)

Tucked in the Sierra Nevada foothills just outside the gateway to Yosemite, Mountain Home Charter offers families in Oakhurst a thoughtful alternative to traditional schooling, with particularly strong science scores that feel right at home in a community surrounded by some of California's most stunning natural landscape. As a K-8 charter, it gives kids a longer runway with the same teachers and community before heading to high school, which tends to appeal to families who value continuity and a close-knit environment. Oakhurst itself is a small mountain town where outdoor life is a big part of the culture, making this a natural fit for families who want their kids' education to reflect the world right outside their door.
