Mountain Park

What Mountain Park does

Mountain Park School is a public K-12 independent study school operated by Monrovia Unified School District in Monrovia, California, headquartered at 950 South Mountain Avenue. It serves non-traditional students, including those pursuing professional careers in acting or athletics, as well as families seeking flexible scheduling, by offering tuition-free education through virtual, hybrid, and in-person modalities. The school places particular emphasis on college readiness, with a course catalog approved by the NCAA, University of California, and California State University systems, and it was granted a full six-year WASC accreditation in August 2017.

The core instructional platform is Mountain Park Virtual Academy, delivered primarily through Edgenuity, complemented by on-campus academic labs held at scheduled times during the school week. Supporting systems include Aeries for student information, ParentSquare for parent communication, Edlio for the school website, Parchment for transcript delivery, and Google Sign-In and Zoom for authentication and virtual meetings. The school shares facilities, staff, and events with Canyon Oaks High School, another alternative school within the district, including joint graduation ceremonies and an Annual Thanksgiving Feast.

Mountain Park does not operate as a commercial enterprise. As a public school, it is funded through state and federal education allocations channeled via Monrovia Unified School District and charges no tuition. Its go-to-market is direct enrollment at the school office during district registration periods, with students able to dual-enroll at their home school or attend Mountain Park exclusively. Partnerships with University of La Verne (PACE guaranteed admission), Citrus College (summer school co-sponsorship), Lab Launch (STEM exposure), and Vision to Learn (free vision services) extend student outcomes beyond the core curriculum.
