Description

The Orange County School of Computer Science gives students in grades 6 through 8 a future focused middle school experience built around mastery based learning, innovation, and purposeful problem solving. Students grow as creators, collaborators, and innovators through an Innovation Lab that brings computer science, engineering, entrepreneurship, and video production into hands on learning. The school also integrates C STEM education through UC Davis, connecting robotics and computer science with core academic subjects so students can apply technical thinking across the school day. As a public charter school and a 2025 California School to Watch, OCSCS reflects a strong commitment to collaboration, academic excellence, and continuous improvement. Students are supported to think boldly, build practical skills, and see themselves as capable leaders in a changing world.
