Middle College High

Middle College High School (MCHS), located on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton, California, is a unique educational partnership between Stockton Unified School District and the college. Designed for students in grades 10 through 12, the school offers a specialized academic environment that allows students to complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning college credits. By immersing students in a collegiate atmosphere, the school fosters independence, academic rigor, and a clear pathway toward higher education, making it an ideal setting for motivated students looking for an alternative to the traditional high school experience.

The program is structured to provide a bridge between secondary and post-secondary education, offering students the opportunity to graduate with both a high school diploma and significant progress toward an associate degree or certificate. Because the school is situated directly on the Delta College campus, students gain early exposure to college-level expectations, resources, and social environments. This setting is particularly beneficial for those seeking a more mature learning community, as it emphasizes self-discipline, time management, and a seamless transition into future university or career endeavors.
