In the fall of 2002, the Magnolia Public Schools (“MPS” or “Magnolia”) established its first tuition free public charter school, Magnolia Science Academy-1 Reseda in the San Fernando Valley. Since then, MPS has established ten other charter school sites in California that provide an innovative and high quality education.
MPS provides a high-performing Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM)-focused public school option to historically underserved families. Its schools outperform their neighborhood public schools, achieve prestigious honors in competitions and send students to the top colleges in the nation.
There are 4 MPS middle schools (grades 6-8), 1 elementary school (grades K-5), and 5 middle/high schools (grades 6-12).
Distinctive Features of MPS
1) Home Visits Program :
Research has shown that one of the keys to successful teaching and schooling is creating personal connections with students. MPS teachers visit students at their homes to enhance student learning and involvement. Teachers can identify students' latest interests or concerns, such as a new hobby, an upcoming trip, or a change in the family. Parents and teachers are critical partners in educating the “whole child”.
