Welcome!

Dear Families,

Welcome to our High School Program for Yosemite Valley Charter and Monarch River Academy, home of The Eagles! My name is Denise Voth, and I am proud to serve as the Director of Secondary Education for these two outstanding charter schools. As a parent of two college students and one child already in the workforce, I deeply understand the dedication and perseverance it takes to prepare students for success in college and career. I am especially grateful for the individualized education our program provides to each and every student.

Our journey began in 2016 with the establishment of Yosemite Valley Charter, and just two years later, Monarch River Academy joined our Central Valley Charter Schools family. We have a strong history of supporting families who choose independent study, offering a robust academic foundation while honoring the heart of personalized learning. We take great pride in encouraging students to discover their passions and build their secondary education around their unique interests.

I am especially proud of the many ways our students meet the A-G requirements necessary for CSU and UC admissions. Our 7th–12th grade students have flexible learning options, including online, offline, or a blended curriculum approach. In addition to rich academic offerings, we provide opportunities such as Academic Decathlon, National Honor Society, Community College courses and NCAA-approved courses. With hundreds of electives available, there truly is something for everyone, and we are committed to helping each student create their own pathway to success.

At our charter schools, we recognize and value the essential role parents play in the educational journey. Your partnership is crucial, and we are honored to work alongside you to ensure that your student feels supported, challenged, and celebrated throughout their time with us.

We are excited to embark on a wonderful school year together. Please stay connected by visiting our website regularly for important updates and resources. We look forward to a year of growth, achievement, and new opportunities.

Go Eagles!
