INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM

Independent Study Program is a public elementary school that is part of the Mountain View Whisman school district, located in Mountain View, CA with about 11 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade.

The Mountain View Whisman School District (MVWSD) Independent Study Program is a specialized educational option designed to provide flexibility for students who require an alternative to the traditional classroom environment. Located at 460 Thompson Ave. in Mountain View, this program allows students to complete their coursework outside of a conventional school setting while still meeting the rigorous academic standards of the district. It is typically utilized by families seeking a personalized learning pace, those managing unique extracurricular commitments, or students who thrive with more autonomy over their daily schedules.

Because the program is an extension of the broader MVWSD framework, it remains closely aligned with the district's curriculum and educational goals. Students enrolled in the program work under the guidance of credentialed teachers who provide oversight, support, and regular check-ins to ensure academic progress. By blending independent learning modules with faculty mentorship, the program aims to foster self-discipline and accountability, offering a structured yet adaptable pathway for students to succeed within the public school system.
