Just need to catch up
I am behind in credits and need to catch up and may go back to my school of residence after.
Just need flexibility
Graduation is the goal but due to work or other life circumstances, I need a flexible school that meets me where I am.
Alternative schools may provide some flexibility or programs that are intended to facilitate completion of high school, but often lack crucial on-site structures such as guidance counseling, support services, college and career counseling, credentialed teachers in every academic content area, adaptability and flexibility for high school success plans, and other essential wrap-around services needed to meet the needs of this most vulnerable population. The Matrix is carefully designed to meet all these needs. The Matrix provides a student-centered grades 9-12 instructional program through a competency-based, personalized instructional model, designed to allow for flexibility while maximizing access to educational resources for every student.
At Matrix, students work independently, rather than in a traditional classroom setting. Students have the choice of whether to be on site to work on assessments, allowing them to work from anywhere, and schedule times and dates to meet with a teacher for individualized support.
Our school is designed to allow students to access their curriculum online at any time of the day from wherever they are. Students, parents, and teachers partner to create a class schedule that respects and meets the needs of students.

Matrix for Success Academy
FY 2024-25 Education Protection Account Spending Plan
California created the Education Protection Account (EPA) in November 2012 after the passage
of Proposition 30, The Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012.
Revenue generated from the increased taxes is deposited into the EPA and distributed to districts and
charter schools every quarter.
While funds from the EPA are part of a district’s or charter school’s general-purpose funding,
Proposition 30 specifies that EPA funds may not be used for administrative salaries or benefits or any
other administrative costs. Governing boards must annually determine the use of EPA funds at an
open public meeting.
Proposition 30 also requires all districts, counties, and charter schools to report on their websites an
accounting of how much money was received from the EPA and how that money was spent.
For schools that opened in FY13/14 or later, EPA is apportioned at $200/ADA.
For Matrix for Success Academy, this equates to $56,090.
Funds will be used to support teacher salaries and benefits.
