    The vision of Monterey Bay Charter School is to be a place that strategically, effectively, and in partnership with the community, provides a fully-integrated, Waldorf-inspired public charter school education that reflects our core values and the diversity of the community.


    Enrollment:Visit the enrollment page. Although there are wait lists for all grades, Kindergarten through 8th, we encourage parents to submit an Enrollment Request. The school will fill openings throughout the school year with the list and will be able to provide email updates to families.

    • Are committed to and involved in their children's education and wish to inspire life-long learning in their children.
    • Recognize the value of a small school and intimate class environment.
    • Are concerned about the health of the greater environment and want a school program that reflects this concern.
