Q: What grades will Moab Charter School have next year?
A: Like in previous years, students who were on campus full-time will continue to receive in-person instruction, like in previous years. Despite the term "eAcademy," MCS will offer both traditional in classroom options and a blended education model. Some families may choose to use online programs and have one or two days on campus, while others will spend five days a week in the classroom. We are enrolling students in the K-6 program either in blended education or in person.
We are excited to introduce a K-8 blended education option and hope to welcome some new students through this program.
