SFCS is a public, nonprofit TK-8 school that began operating in August 2012 under an independent charter authorized by the Mariposa County Unified School District. The SFCS educational philosophy is embodied in the seven key components that we consider critical for effectively serving our small, rural student population: 1) inquiry based learning with an emphasis on science and sustainability; 2) integrated standards based curriculum within small, multi-age classrooms; 3) placed-based lessons centered around our learning garden and local ecosystems; 4) well-rounded instruction that includes music, the arts, health and life skills and emotional and physical development; 5) promotion of technologically adept communication and global competency through digital learning; 6) partnerships with U.C. Merced, parents and community organizations with a focus on college readiness and career opportunities; and 7) service learning projects. SFCS is located in the Sierra Foothill community of Catheys Valley in Mariposa County, the gateway to Yosemite National Park. We welcome student-centered, collaborative professionals to join our school family. Further information about SFCS can be found at sierrafoothillcharterschool.org.
