Madera County Independent Academy


Madera County Independent Academy (MCIA) is a TK-12 independent study charter school authorized by the Madera County Board of Education that actively serves students in a K-8 setting, The school is located in the city of Madera, and is a program of choice which serves at-promise students, including middle school students expelled from their home district. This program supports individual development through state standards aligned curriculum. The program allows students to set their own pace for learning and allows teachers to provide needed support to identify and close any achievement gaps. Although the requirement is for students to meet with their independent study teacher individually for one hour per week, supplemental services are provided to ensure students have increased support in developing academic, behavioral, and social-emotional skills. All students are provided Common Core State Standards (CCSS) aligned curricula and materials.

Madera County Independent Academy will accept applications for enrollment from any student qualified by the State Charter School Law.  The targeted student population consists of educationally disadvantaged students in grades kindergarten through twelve.  Two distinct student populations will be served: K-12 home school students and K-12 independent study students.  Students who attend Madera County Independent Academy will come in search of an alternative educational model that provides opportunities for greater flexibility in terms of time and delivery of instruction.
