Oasis Charter School serves the families of Monterey County who are looking for an alternative to traditional public education. 

Our mission is to bring together a diverse community and to create a constructivist, multiage, and multicultural learning environment for children in the elementary and middle school grades.  Through integrated project based activities as well as direct instruction, group decision making, and family based opportunities, Oasis Charter School will foster the development of responsible citizenship skills, literacy, logical thinking, creative problem solving, and the ability to represent one's ideas in a variety of ways.  Our students will be able to raise questions, identify and evaluate options, and access the information necessary to find answers.  This program will equip our students with the skills necessary to fulfill their personal aspirations and advocate for the common good.

Oasis Charter School was founded in 2001 as a tuition-free school that serves children grades Kindergarten through 8th grade.  All Oasis teachers in core subject areas are credentialed by the State of California.  Oasis is a constructivist, project-based school and our curriculum is guided by the California State Curriculum Standards.  Our focus is on each student's educational development over time.  We feature small, multiage classes and provide experiences for students in the areas of social studies, science, art, music, and drama as well as math and reading.  Oasis is an active community of 250 students that invites participation from each student and their family.  We provide students the opportunity to learn in a variety of ways so that they can be successful.  Mutiage classes, projects, and special events allow students of all ages to work and learn together.  We also teach the value of good citizenship and its impact on our community.
