First of all, if you are new to homeschooling, it can get quite expensive, but I'll talk about that…read morelater. I hated home school. Personally. My classes were beyond what my mom was able to teach me, so I basically taught myself. My kids have not passed me yet, but I think the time will come. In the meantime, my wife has taken on the role of mom and teacher. Mountain Home is not like the charter school I was enrolled in, that shall remain nameless. But it is named after a nearby forest, not Sequoia. Hint: It rhymes with Zierra.... Anyways, school for me was pretty much me and a book at home. My kids, however, can either stay home, or enroll in classes at the school, like puppetry, Spanish and computer. There are other options, like cross country, if you attend the Oakhurst location or want to drive your kids up there. They also do field trips. Field trips! My wife likes that she can select the curriculum, and in no time, my kids were doing work 1 and 2 grade levels up. She also gets access to supplies, and can use her teacher status to get discounts at certain places. Now, as for the cost. My kids no longer eat free breakfast at school, my wife supplements their courses with ABC Mouse, which isn't free. Then, my son takes piano lessons - $20 a pop(this is a good deal btw). Then, my kids needed somewhere to play at home. $170 for a backyard swingset. My son also wants to do cross country, but I'm not driving up to Oakhurst for that. So we enter him into races around the town every other month-$10 per race. And finally, family passes to the zoo for "field trips." Of course, you don't have to do all these things for your kids. If you don't care about your kids being bored, or fed, then it can be extremely cheap lol. I have friends that don't even teach their kids. The kids only do their work just before it's due. But they are also behind in math because they don't do any. Anyways, Mountain Home is so popular, there is a waiting list, and they are looking for a larger Fresno location.

I really love this charter. Everyone told me that if I was uneasy with doing home school for my…read morekids alone, to first get my feet wet with a charter. I'm so glad I picked mountain home school charter. They have been so helpful and really show care for each child and family individually. The communication is frequent and supportive. The enrichment classes are fun! You get the benefits of a public school, like picture day and a year book. While also being able to cater to your child's educational needs. Our teacher, mrs.patterson, has been so helpful and such a delight. My daughter always has so much to talk about when she leaves enrichment class. Love love love MHSC and I always recommend them to everyone!
