Is this a homeschool program, or is my child enrolled in a public school?
Oro Grande School District provides families with two distinct learning pathways, allowing parents to choose the environment that best fits their child, traditional on-campus instruction or independent study with flexibility.
Is my child eligible?
In most cases, yes. Here’s a clear, parent-friendly way to know if your child may be eligible for programs through Oro Grande School District, including Mojave River Academy.
✅ Your child is likely eligible if:
1. Entering TK–12th grade (grade availability varies by program)
2. Currently enrolled in another public school (transfers are allowed)
3. Meets Academic, Behavior, and Attendance Standards
What if my child struggles with change?
This is a common concern, and it’s actually one of the reasons many families choose programs through Riverside Preparatory Schools.
Riverside Preparatory Schools
We understand that transitions can be hard, and support is built into the traditional school environment.
How Riverside Preparatory helps:
1. On-campus support staff (teachers, counselors, administrators)
2. Social-emotional support through counseling and teacher check-ins
3. Structured routines (consistent bell schedules, class periods, and expectations)
Mojave River Academy
Independent study is especially supportive for students who need a gentler transition.
How Mojave River Academy helps:
1. Learning begins in a familiar environment (Usually Home)
2. One primary credentialed teacher, not multiple new teachers at once.
3. Flexible pacing.
4. Academic learning by appointment.
