Mason County communities place a high value on life-long learning, evidenced by the variety of educational options and resources for children, teens and adults. Just as important to education are the involvement and support from individuals, community organizations, business and industry. The extraordinary natural resources of Lake Michigan, inland lakes and rivers, forest and farmland — plus the history of the area — are woven into these opportunities, providing rich experiences for all.
The fully accredited public and private school systems for children begin with early childhood and school readiness programs and follow with curricula and fine arts for kindergarten through 8th grade in private schools and kindergarten through 12th grade in public schools. A full slate of athletic and co-curricular programs and clubs is a big part of school and community life in Mason County. There is also a home-schooling community.
