I have been really, really happy with the education that my son is getting. This year I am 'home schooling' him in a couple of classes, and then sending him to the 'Learning Center' for a couple of his other classes. The Learning Center is sort of taught like a college. The classes are just a few

His test scores have actually improved a lot (Advanced, now), and the kids that he is hanging around are a lot better. The classes at the LC are a lot smaller (like 15 kids for High School...crazy!) So, the get more attention from their teachers. Anyway, I have been happy. They have a lot of resources, and a helpful staff. Read less

Julian Charter School offers an excellent alternative form of education to traditional public schooling. They have an incredible choice of cirriculum available and every resource imaginable - all for free!!! I am so impressed with what they have to offer parents and children who don't fit into the 'mold.'

Read more Not only do they offer parents a choice to homeschool their children using their own choice of cirrculum, but they also offer chidlren an opportunity to take an individual class, like science or math once a week, or take part in the academy twice a week where they can take all their classes!! Excellent school. Read less

I was very disapointed in the level of education that was presented to my daughter thru this school. The LP's the teacher had given us did not teach my daughter everything that needed to be learned in this years time frame and so I will be continuing it thru the summer. Also I had requested my daughter

When I spoke to someone in administration about that they said it can take two years for that request to go thru!! Are you kidding me? That does not follow my rights as noted on the Board of Education website. It was going to be a fight to get my daughter the help that she needed. Not returning next year. Read less

This is an independent study program with some availability of onsite classes. The program is characterized by a high degree of flux--high employee/teacher turnover, constant change of procedures. Due to the longevity of the school, it is a known alternative to the traditional setting and the student
... Read more population profile has gradually shifted from a more traditional homeschooled student to include more at-risk students. This is apparent at testing sites, onsite classes and field trips. The administration can be impersonal and bureaucratic, and obviously has concerns that compete with parent choice, despite slogans to the contrary. However, there are many dedicated employees/teachers in the learning centers and in the field (they may be gone tomorrow). This school is not a bad choice if you are determined to avoid the trappings of the mega-schools and you want to get the (educational) job done. Read less

We have homeschooled our 6 children from the beginning and have used many approaches since our onset. Purchasing curriculum has always been an exciting but fretful time of year as we love to get our hands on great learning tools but have increasingly been limited by our budget. As a christian family,

We enrolled in Julian Charter about 4 years ago and have been totally pleased! First, the 'lovely curriculum' is paid for, including art supplies, lessons & classes if we desire. Secondly, my 'Christian' facilitator has assisted me whenever I've needed it without being invasive. 'All' the paperwork is taken care of and am assured that my children's Transcripts are top notch whether they are called to be a Mother, Pastor or Brain Surgeon. This Charter is Splendid! Read less
