Family Partnership Home Study Charter School

The Montessori Learning Center in Santa Maria of the Family Partnership Charter School is a great, nurturing and challenging academic environment. The advisors there are the best. The Montessori approach is so complete, it looks at the whole child: academics, character development, life skills. My children love their school and teachers, and parents are always welcome in the classroom.

There are a handful of qualified "academic advisors"; however, the ones who aren't, can inspire a child to drop out of school and ruin their future. The Orcutt staff has some of the best and some of the worst - keep close tabs on your child's advisor, until you have established complete trust. Part of the reason we chose this school was because a personalized learning plan was supposed to be developed. It turns out to be exact, cookie cutter program, with no individual curriculum, no special interest offerings and NO flexibility in student's pace. The Odyssey Language Arts program is a weak learning tool and Aleks math does not spend any time TEACHING.

This school, specifically the Montessori Learning Site in Santa Maria, works with children to enhance skills that need improvement using the talents and natural aptitude if the individual student. I would recommend this school to anyone I know.

This is a great place to have individualized attention and guidance for education. The programs include Montessori environments, along with independent/home-study programs. A personalized environment can allow families to work with their student on developing a well-rounded, confident young man or young woman!
