Big Sur Charter School is a learning community dedicated to guiding students towards intellectual curiosity, emotional intelligence, and environmental stewardship. As a non-classroom based school, they believe that children can learn at home, in their communities, and in nature. The school offers a diverse range of products and services to support their mission and vision.

These include nature studies, arts education, hands-on projects, small group instruction, and community stewardship. Additionally, they provide a comprehensive curriculum aligned with the California Core Standards, as well as personalized learning plans for home education. Originally established to serve students and families in the Big Sur community seeking an alternative to traditional classroom-based schooling, Big Sur Charter School is proud to be a part of the effort to reinvent learning for the 21st Century.

Their programs are authorized by the Big Sur Unified School District and aim to create a diverse learning environment that fosters mutual respect, social responsibility, and resilience
