About Wilson High School

Welcome to Wilson High School. We are very proud of our school and grateful that the Santa Clara Unified School District continues to support an alternative school setting for students in this district. Wilson is a fully accredited high school by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and has received the highest accreditation since its establishment.

Wilson High School helps students pursue their educational goals through the independent study method of delivery, yet within the framework of the Santa Clara Unified School District. The nature of the independent study program provides students the opportunity to work closely with teachers to create individualized plans to complete graduation requirements and prepare for college or a vocational opportunity.

Students need to be motivated to complete assignments at home and parents need to take an active role in the education process. Students and parents learn quickly that Wilson provides a small, nurturing environment where students feel safe, secure, and valued. The teachers, counselors, and staff at Wilson spend quality time with each student while providing an education path toward graduation and post high school
