The organization of Sherman Thomas Charter Schools is a nonprofit public benefit corporation located in Madera, California designed to promote high-quality educational services. Established in 2009, Sherman Thomas High School was founded with the mission of providing a supportive environment favorable to student achievement, particularly for families seeking an educational model that offers flexibility in scheduling and instructional delivery. Our high school provides students from grade levels 9-12 with the opportunity to learn in a hybrid-based environment. Our unique blend of independent study, traditional, and online schooling caters to high school students seeking direct instruction in smaller class settings. During their time at STCHS, your student will engage in Learning Center courses conducted on campus, Independent Study courses, Online Learning courses, and the option to participate in our Educational Enrichment Program at Madera Community College.
At STCHS, our student-to-teacher ratio is 25:1. We believe a small-scale education can have a significant influence for each student, their families, their distinct needs, and aspirations. Each student receives a personalized class schedule. These schedules, depending on grade level, will resemble a college schedule. Throughout the week, students attend classes for an hour or more in each core subject, with additional opportunities such as lab sessions, tutoring, and meetings with Supervising Teachers.
En los años siguientes, Sherman Thomas Charter High School se ganó la reputación de su compromiso de preparar a los estudiantes para los desafíos de la educación superior y la fuerza laboral.
