Homeschooling in Action

Homeschooling is for many, more than just a choice -- it is a necessity. Any reasonably intelligent individual (able to pick up a book and study a subject) who has seen a public school classroom in action must conclude, as we and many others have, that the learning/time quotient common in the public schools is only a tiny fraction of that possible in an educationally benign environment. However, not all parents feel confident about teaching all subjects to their children.

The homeschooling classes here listed, offer an excellent alternative by providing homeschooling children with access to a more diverse group of highly qualified intellectual role models than commonly found in either traditional school or purely homeschool environments. All of the major core subjects are covered, including English through college entrance level, math through calculus, music theory, art, and science including chemistry and physics.

Abacus-es has been providing educational resources for many years including some of the courses for homeschoolers at Excellence in Education, the definitive homeschool resource center in Monrovia, California.

All of our classes are offered in the homeschooling spirit. Though our teachers are credentialed with many years of public school classroom experience, we are accutely aware of the shortcomings inherent in traditional schooling methods and strive to provide a highly flexible and inspiring alternative learning environment. We are not simply unaccredited, we are proudly unaccredited, as accreditation tends more to assure conformity than scholarship.
