We Do School Different

Main Street Scholars is a niche school for grades 6-12, offering enrollment in full-time school, single classes, repeat-delete classes or summer school. In our unique and efficient college-high school model, sophomores begin attending Community College and earning college credits while in high school - graduating with one foot already in the college door.

At MSS, students attend community college with full support of our staff, earn college credit while still in high school, and can shorten the time it takes to reach a 4-year degree, at a substantial savings in tuition. Our academic programs have impacted over 600 Coastside families for ten years, growing into a well-regarded educational non-profit serving all students. All coursework is WASC accredited and A-G approved for college admissions.

Main Street Scholars is honored to be a part of Coastside Gives and appreciates your support of our school. Please pledge through Coastside Gives, and help us support Coastside families as they navigate the road to successfully educating their children.


Testimonials

-a parent
My child has learned more in two weeks at MSS, than in the five years at his traditional school.

-a science tutor
I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me! I have learned so much by your side and am truly grateful! You are an incredible woman and mentor and I am lucky to have known and worked for you.

-a student (6th grade)
I had a great year! Can't wait to see you in 7th grade!

-a parent (8-10th grade)
Thank you so much for the "tricks and tips" you've given our son this summer. His confidence has grown significantly and he's started the school year with a real spring in his step!

-a student (12th grade)
Thank you for everything you've done to help me!

-a parent (9-11th grade)
Our home life is so much better now that our daughter knows she is getting the help she needs with her school work. We don't feel so stressed out because she is no longer stressed, and knows that she can get all the support she needs at MSS. We have been able to have family meals again, a sense of bonding has returned.

-a parent (10th-college)
This was the best money we've ever spent! The tears from stress stopped once she began to feel the support. And the confidence instilled in her has been unbelievable. We'd spend the money all over again. It is so worth it. Our investment through MSS has given our daughter the confidence to do well, and she is now a successful college student who is independent and thriving. She has always been a hard worker but now she manages her stress better and knows she can continue to call on the coaches at MSS...which she has done.
