School Overview
La Mesa-Spring Valley Home Independent Study (HIS) is an alternative educational program offered by the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District. Designed as a flexible, non-traditional option for K-8 students, the program allows families to oversee their children’s education from home while maintaining a formal connection to the district. This model is particularly suited for families seeking a customized pace, students involved in professional activities, or those who simply thrive in a self-directed, home-based learning environment.

The program bridges the gap between home-schooling and traditional public education by providing students with district-approved curricula, instructional materials, and the guidance of credentialed teachers. While students complete the bulk of their coursework at home, they receive regular support, academic monitoring, and assessments to ensure they meet state standards. By enrolling in the HIS program, students remain part of the La Mesa-Spring Valley school community, gaining access to the district's educational resources while enjoying the flexibility of a personalized, home-centered schedule.
