Welcome to Student Admissions! Main Street Scholars is an Early College High School located at 780 Main Street in beautiful downtown Half Moon Bay.

Our vision is student-focused with the goal of developing agency for each student enrolled in grades 6–12. Because of our small class sizes, we like to say “every student has a front-row seat!” And each student is given the opportunity to grow into a responsible, accountable, and self-determined young person.

Our diverse community excels in learning, yet more importantly, as people who develop personally through our “values” approach to education.

Students are guided through a rigorous liberal arts high school curriculum, accompanied by college classes in grades 10–12. This curriculum, focused on critical thinking skills, is written and developed by our administrators and each course has been approved for college admissions by College-Board.

High School graduation in California is based on students earning credit hours for a minimum of 13 classes or 130 credit hours. Admissions into a four-year university requires a minimum of 15 classes or 150 credit hours. By combining high school and college classes students earn between 200–250 credits that apply to both high school graduation and college acceptance—well beyond the required minimum.

Our students have enrolled in four-year universities in history and English, have gone on to law school, jumped into careers with the California state parks, have become firefighters, motorcycle mechanics, and even a commercial airline pilot.
