Course Credit (Academic)

MBX is a WASC accredited supplemental education program.  All MBX academic courses are accepted for credit on Mira Costa High School transcripts  for Mira Costa students.

Each semester course is equivalent to 5 high school credits. Successful completion of yearlong courses earns 10 high school credits.

All MBX academic courses are eligible for UC/CSU approval and meet A-G subject requirements once placed a transcript through Principal Certification (As described by UC Admissions)

If you attend a high school other than Mira Costa, you are responsible for ensuring that your grade will be accepted on your home school transcript and will subsequently meet the A-G subject requirement.

Grade Reports

Grades in courses taken at MBX are automatically placed on the Mira Costa transcripts for Mira Costa students. Any student who does not wish to have his/her grade on their Mira Costa High School transcript must ask their parent to request this by August 15, 2025 at 4:00 pm by emailing

If you are not a full time Mira Costa High School student, please email to request a transcript. Please email the student name, school name and address for the sealed transcript to be sent.

Prerequisites

You may not enroll in a course for which you do not have the prerequisite or its equivalent. Prerequisites are listed in the course descriptions. Instructors may not waive prerequisites within a department sequence and accept students into the next level. Please note the differentiation between original credit courses and review courses. Review courses require that the course has already been taken during the regular school year. Original credit courses have a prerequisite noted if applicable. Since the Summer School does not have access to the student’s grades, please ensure that the course prerequisite is met or consult your educational advisor.

Need based scholarships are available for academic classes. Please consult your MCHS school counselor for more information.

Summer School Student Code of Conduct

A safe and positive learning environment will be maintained at all times. Students are expected to respect the personal rights of their peers and to abide by the expectation of MBX instructors, administrators, and staff. Students are expected to practice integrity. Cheating or dishonesty will not be tolerated.

No alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs are allowed on campus. In the event of misconduct for the following offenses, students will be withdrawn and expelled from the MBX summer program and tuition will not be refunded:

2- Sale of any illegal substance to or by a minor

6 – Verbal or physical assault of a student or staff member

7 – Possession of a weapon

Additionally, students found guilty of the above will be subject to citing by the Manhattan Beach Police Department School Resource Officer.

SUMMER SCHOOL ETHICS POLICY

To create an equitable and positive learning environment, the MBX Foundation Summer School Administration and Faculty require that students always act with honesty in their academic endeavors. To this end, the following policy has been established by a faculty committee to promote academic integrity and to establish consequences in cases of unethical behavior.

Cheating includes, but is not limited to, plagiarizing, copying another student’s work, using notes, electronics, or other means of assistance on an assignment or test, passing answers or information to other students about an assignment or test, altering a teacher’s grade book/records, and taking a copy of a test to use it for personal advantage or for distribution to other students. Please note that teachers utilize software), internet search engines, and references to other materials (including Spark Notes) to ascertain the authenticity of student work. Edgenuity utilizes an “academic scan” which identifies all websites to ascertain the authenticity of student work. If a student is using an online source to provide information, they MUST cite the source. If your student does not know how to cite their source, please reach out to your teacher. Failing to cite a source will be counted as a violation of the ethics policy.

Additionally, using AI violates MBX’s Ethics Policy if students rely on it to complete assignments, exams, or projects instead of engaging in their own learning. This undermines academic integrity by allowing students to bypass personal effort, by submitting work that is not their own. The use of AI, including but not limited to ChatGPT, can be scanned through our online platform, Edgenuity. If the assignment is flagged for AI, the student will receive a 0 until meeting with the teacher/principal.

HOW THE POLICY IS IMPLEMENTED

Once the teacher determines that a student has violated the Ethics Policy: A teacher-student conference takes place to discuss the circumstances of the violation. The teacher then fills out a referral form to the principal detailing the offense. The principal meets with the student, contacts the parent, and implements discipline under the policy.
