Independent Study

Custom homeschool options for alternative learning paths.

Some students need an alternative educational path outside of the traditional brick-and-mortar school experience. Fortunately, with so many accredited distance learning programs now available online from prestigious universities and dynamic start-up schools, the menu for what is possible continues to evolve.

We partner with families to build custom academic pathways. From single course to full-time school enrollments, our independent study students receive expert guidance on a wide spectrum of curricular options and delivery models.  We create opportunities for credit recovery, academic acceleration, enrichment, and remediation, including:

• Consulting on accredited academic programs and courses
• Developing pacing calendars and monitoring progress
• Delivering instruction at home, online, or in our center in Santa Monica
• Partnering with schools for pre-approval of course credits
• Building out daily schedules with peer interactions and extracurricular activities
• Communicating with outside support team

After succeeding with one-on-one schooling, many of our full-time K-12 independent study students return to mainstream institutions. Others opt to graduate on an unconventional diploma path with a rigorous online program.  Either way, our independent study learners keep their options open for matriculating to selective four-year colleges and universities.
