What We Do
We partner with parents to inspire each student to think critically, communicate effectively, and achieve excellence by providing academic options.
Our Story
Founded by a group of visionary parents in Escondido, the dream began in 1999 with 200 students. Today, we have seven sites in North San Diego County serving over 4,500 students and their families. With the same passion of our founders, we continue to “partner with parents” to reinvent public education through flexible, personalized learning options.
From the beginning, independent study, i.e., homeschooling, has been in our DNA. Our educational parent-partnership built on trust, collaboration, and accountability continues to guide our decisions as we strive to help all students think, communicate, and achieve.
