Hybrid & Homeschool Programs

Choose the Program that best meets your family's needs

The Hybrid Program

The Hybrid Program blends the flexibility of homeschooling with the support and community of a school. As part of this program students receive more in-person instruction and collaboration time with other students. 
 
The Hybrid Program is available for grades TK-12 at our Chula Vista and La Mesa locations. It is available for grades K-12 at our San Diego location.   

Program Details:
  • Students attend on-site classes 3 days a week and parents homeschool 2 days a week.
  • Credentialed teachers instruct in core subjects during on-site class days. 
  • Enrichment electives are embedded into classes, including art, music, and STEM.
  • Students use a specified curriculum to work together during the semester.
  • High school students can take tuition-free community college classes for credit.
  • The credentialed classroom teacher, also called an Educational Partner, supports the students and parents with homeschooling even when they are not on-site.
  • Parents, students, and Educational Partners meet in-person every six weeks (learning period), although most families have much more frequent contact with their Educational Partner.
  • Homeschool days give families extra time to connect, provide the flexibility to personalize learning even more, and ensure parents are actively involved in their student's education.
