MBX has added new course options at MBX Flex!
MBX Flex now offers Spanish 1, 2, and 3, Biology, Chemistry and Algebra 1 & 2 (remedial only). Registration for all MBX Flex courses is open now.
What is MBX Flex? Does your student want to take summer school but the dates and times of traditional MBX Summer School don’t work for your schedule? Or perhaps your student’s learning style benefits from a more personalized environment? Then MBX Flex is for you.
MBX Flex is “flexible schedule” summer school courses. Students will meet with certificated teachers for approximately 20, 2-hour block sessions for a 2 semester course and 10, 2-hour block sessions for a 1 semester course, plus proctored tests, with the option of 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3 teacher/student ratios. Coursework will be WASC accredited and will be accepted for credit on MCHS transcripts. While schedules are flexible and intended to meet your needs, students electing 1:2 or 1:3 ratios must find their own partners with all partners following identical schedules. Classes can begin as early as 6/18 and must be completed by 8/10.
Registration is open and enrollment is limited. If your desired course is full, please sign up for the "Wait List". MBX will open additional slots pending instructor availability. Note: AM time slots for Modern World History and US History are full. PM time slots are available.

This is only the 2nd time that Costa has had 5 wrestlers qualify for Master’s. The 1st time was in 2015. Two of the Master’s qualifiers are Juniors, Tyler and Jacob Gordon, so the team looks forward to having some very good wrestlers returning next year.
