Montecito Academy
Program Summary:
As a boutique academy for homeschooled students, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where your child can grow, learn and thrive. Our half day program offers Essentials 1 & 2 from 9:00-12:00 Monday-Thursday, and is perfect for busy families looking for a flexible schedule. Our full day program runs Monday-Thursday 9:00-2:30 and includes Essentials 1 & 2, plus extra-curriculars, providing children with a well-rounded education.
Cohorts:
We believe that every student is different and that a one-size-fits-all education does not work for everyone. We assess every student and place them in small cohorts based on their academic level, not their age or grade. This way, we can provide differentiated instruction that meets every student's needs and challenges them appropriately.
