The school aims to develop highly competent students who are both excited about learning and motivated to achieve their potential.

The Pacific School provides the California coastal communities from Salt Point (Sonoma County) to Elk (Mendocino County), including Gualala and Point Arena, with a publicly funded Kindergarten through 12th grade charter school. All K-12 students in these geographic areas are eligible for enrollment. No tuition is charged.


The Pacific School's interdisciplinary curriculum is based on the State frameworks. Subject matter is approached through a variety of pedagogies. Staff develop specific curriculum to help students learn to think, communicate and relate. PCCS emphasizes self-knowledge, the interconnectedness of ideas, individual accomplishment and personal and social responsibility.
