Decoto School for Independent Study

Decoto School for Independent Study, located in Union City, California, is an alternative educational program within the New Haven Unified School District designed to offer students a flexible, non-traditional path to earning their high school diploma. Unlike a conventional classroom setting, the school focuses on personalized learning plans that allow students to work at their own pace. This environment is particularly well-suited for students who may require a more adaptable schedule due to personal, professional, or academic needs, as it prioritizes self-directed study under the guidance of credentialed teachers.

The program emphasizes academic accountability and individualized support, bridging the gap between independent coursework and direct instruction. Students meet regularly with teachers to review progress, receive guidance on assignments, and ensure they are meeting state standards and graduation requirements. By providing a smaller, more focused setting, Decoto School aims to foster student success, build self-reliance, and provide a viable educational alternative for those who thrive outside of the traditional comprehensive high school structure.
