A community of innovative, life-long learners who continually strive for excellence

JCS Mountain Oaks is a vibrant learning community dedicated to cultivating compassionate, innovative, lifelong learners who strive for excellence in everything they do. Serving students in grades TK–8, we offer two strong educational pathways: a GATE-focused Academy for advanced, in-person instruction, and a fully supported Home Study program for families seeking flexibility with strong academic guidance.

Both programs are designed to support the individual interests, learning styles, and strengths of each student. Our goal is to provide an academically rigorous, student-centered education that empowers children to grow confidently and develop a lifelong love of learning.

We can't wait to welcome your family!

JCS Mountain Oaks serves students in grades TK–8 and is an excellent option for families seeking a balanced, flexible approach to education that includes both in-person and at-home learning. Our hybrid model is ideal for parents who want their child to attend a physical school while still enjoying the benefits of independent study. Students attend on-campus classes four days a week in a supportive, small-group setting, with one day set aside for learning at home. This structure allows students to experience the consistency of a school community while building independence, confidence, and responsibility through self-directed learning.

JCS Mountain Oaks can change your child's life forever!
