About This Cause

ABOUT MONARCH SCHOOL Monarch School is dedicated to helping San Diego’s homeless students break the cycle of poverty through education. Monarch is a K-12 public school providing more than 300 students with an accredited education, after school program and college and career preparation as well as basic necessities. Monarch School is a public-private partnership between the San Diego County Office of Education and the nonprofit Monarch School Project OUR STUDENTS Our students live in shelters, motels, double- or tripled-up with other families in small apartments, in parks, cars, or on the streets. Currently there are more than 20,000 homeless students in San Diego County. Students experiencing homelessness have often been absent from school for long periods of time and are achieving below grade level when they enroll. Monarch removes barriers typically encountered by homeless students and provides programs and services not offered at traditional public schools. Our program is designed to help students achieve success in a welcoming environment. The typical student arrives at Monarch three years behind grade level, yet he or she progresses one full year academically for every six months spent at Monarch.
