STUDENT LIFE
Field Trips
Where will we go this school year? At Mid Valley Charter Home School, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Throughout the school year, we offer a variety of enriching field trip opportunities designed to provide hands-on learning experiences and meaningful connections to the world around us.
Students may soar into adventure at Urban Air, explore agriculture and local farming at Vossler Farms, and engage with nature through visits to Burris Park. Our trips to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo offer students the chance to learn about animals, conservation, and storytelling in an interactive and memorable environment. We also celebrate the end of the school year with a fun-filled day of physical activity and community building at Wild Water Adventure.
In addition, through our Art and Music Grant, we have proudly partnered over the past two years with Good Dirt Pottery and Ballis Glass for pottery and glass-blowing experiences, providing designated grade levels with unique opportunities to explore creativity and the arts.
We value collaboration and welcome new ideas. If you have suggestions for future field trip experiences, please feel free to share them with our Executive Director. Together, we make learning come alive through adventure, exploration, and discovery.
In-Person Learning
At Mid Valley Charter Home School, students have meaningful opportunities to build social connections through a variety of engaging, in-person experiences. Each grade level participates in designated in-person instructional minutes with our educators, ensuring intentional time for learning and collaboration.
Students can explore their creativity in Virtual Art Classes with Mrs. Kinney as well as Family Art Nights, where they express themselves while forming friendships in a supportive environment. Throughout the school year, students also participate in 4-5 thoughtfully planned field trips that provide hands-on learning and real-world connections. A highlight for our third-grade students is the annual Kings County Farm Day, offering a unique and memorable educational experience.
Together, these in-person opportunities are designed to foster a strong sense of community, encourage collaboration, and strengthen relationships among students.
Sports
For students in grades 6-8 who are interested in sports, we are excited to offer opportunities through our partnership with the Kit Carson School athletic program. This collaboration allows our students to join sports teams, fostering teamwork, discipline, and a healthy competitive spirit while staying connected with the broader school community. Whether your child is passionate about athletics or eager to try something new, they can be part of a supportive and dynamic sports environment through this program.
REGISTER TO COME TO MID VALLEY
At Mid Valley Charter Home School, we celebrate the individuality of every student and are committed to fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Our educational approach emphasizes 'Learning to learn,' ensuring that students develop the skills necessary to become self-motivated, lifelong learners. We seamlessly integrate artistic and practical disciplines into our academic curriculum, encouraging students to explore their curiosities, think creatively, and collaborate effectively with peers.
Our mission is to nurture integrity, compassion, and confidence in every child. Through project-based learning, our TKindergarten through eighth-grade students engage in an academic journey that is both meaningful and adaptable to their unique learning styles. With opportunities such as an Accelerated Curriculum, enriching field trips, Google Meet sessions with classmates, weekly in-person meetings with teachers, targeted intervention support, and creative experiences like Art with Mrs. Kinney, we provide a holistic and dynamic learning environment tailored to each student's needs.
Mid Valley believes in fostering creativity! Kit Carson employs a part time art teacher who instructs the students in varied media projects, allowing them to hone their fine-motor skills and stretch their imagination! Currently this opportunity is offered virtually.
