Saturday Academy

MONTEREY HIGH SCHOOL

 SATURDAY ACADEMY

Monterey Peninsula Unified School District presents Saturday Academy where your child receives  extended learning opportunities  while allowing them to make-up missed days of attendance!

Missed days of school also result in lost revenue to our district. “Saturday Academy” allows us to recover your child’s lost learning as  well as lost funding in a positive and engaging way!

It’s a Win-Win!
