Mission Statement 

Kings Canyon Adult School is dedicated to providing an education to students over the age of 18 who are no longer able to attend high school. The mission of Kings Canyon Adult School is to focus on the individual and to assist and guide each student to acquire knowledge, confidence, skills and individual strengths that prepare them to continue developing and cultivating as productive students and individuals, both in the classroom and in society.

The school mission, culture and schoolwide learner outcomes impact student learning and well-being by assisting the school team to implement goals, increase student learning success and create a collaborative school culture with an emphasis on personalized learning plans for adults and older students. 

 
Social Emotional, Responsible, Resourceful, and Technologically Skilled Learners. 

We commit all our efforts to become innovative educators, creating activities inside and outside the classroom that promote a cooperative and caring learning environment which fosters respect for each other and the learning process.

Kings Canyon Adult School has adopted Schoolwide Learner Outcomes (SLOs). These are intended as a starting point as the school builds the processes and structures necessary to revise and adapt them in a collective manner, working with stakeholders. This will include adapting these outcomes for each of the three main programs at Kings Canyon Adult School. 

Kings Canyon Adult School SLO's are:

  • Develop self-confidence and positive self-esteem through life lessons and research.
  • Discover mental health and coping skills through counseling, self evaluation, classroom activities and projects.


Responsible, Self-Directed Learners who:
