About MESA.webp)
Through our mastery-based grading system, students receive a rigorous education, equipping them with the tools to succeed in college, career, and beyond. Research shows that students who enter college with credits are more likely to graduate. With CLEP, AP, and College Now, students can accumulate college credit early.
We believe that learning outside of the classroom is just as important as within. From intersession programming to trips abroad to over 25 extracurricular clubs and sports, our students have many opportunities to grow their skills and leadership through enrichment experiences.

Our goal is for every student to have a financially sustainable and personally meaningful career. We work hard to connect our students with internships, workplace tours, and residential college programs and we continue to support our alumni after they graduate.
