Is Online Right for You?
Many students have individual needs or circumstances prohibiting them from attending school full-time. Mustang Online Pathway students are held to the same high standards set in the regular classroom and have access to UC "a-g" eligible and non-UC eligible coursework to meet the needs of each student. One benefit of the Online Pathway at Mountain House High School is that students have face-to-face in-person access to credentialed teachers if they need additional help and tutoring in their online classes. In addition, students are assigned an academic counselor to assist them with course selection and career planning. Coursework is available for students to begin and complete the entire high school experience online.
Using our partnership with expert online content provider Edgenuity, we offer over 80 UC-approved college prep courses, including regular, honors, and AP Courses. For online course options, see page 27 in our Course Catalog.
Mustang Online Pathway students enjoy access to the same resources as traditional students. They may attend athletic and social events, compete in athletics, and participate in the more than 50 clubs and activities offered at the high school. In addition, Mustang Online Pathway students are eligible to take any classes offered in a face-to-face format on campus at Mountain House High School, giving them access to academic and elective courses that other online programs cannot provide. As official Mountain House High School students, Mustang Online Pathway students receive a Mountain House High School diploma and participate in commencement ceremonies.
