About Us

The North Monterey County Center for Independent Study (NMCCIS) is an alternative school of choice that utilizes independent study as the mode of instruction. NMCCIS is a voluntary 7-12 alternative to traditional and continuation schools that was established to provide educational services for students who are experiencing difficulty participating in the traditional school setting and/or who want more individualized and self-regulated instruction. The purpose of NMCCIS is to provide students with individualized blended learning that is tailored to meet the needs of each learner.
