I've been getting all A's there. They understand if I don't get something right away. They work with me and they care about me." As parents, at least for me, I often wonder if I'm doing the right thing. With Elmarie and her experienced, dedicated, and talented staff, I can rest well knowing that I got this part [my child's education] right. I can't recommend any of the campuses and online classes enough.

This has been my son's homeschool learning center for years and we absolutely LOVE it! I can't…read morebelieve I haven't left a review before! Elmarie who owns and runs it is so kind, patient and helpful. She always is so responsive to any questions I may have. She hires such fun, easy going, excellent teachers that really care about the students. There are so many really cool, unique, engaging classes, that sometimes it's hard to decide which to take! You can take just one class or many classes. You're sure to find something your student will be interested in. They also have one on one tutors in some subjects. They have basic and required academics like Math, Science, ELA, History, Social Studies and more. From Kindergarten up to High School classes for full credit, even foreign languages. They can change from semester to semester, due to teachers avail and interest. Many of the teachers have been teaching there for years. My son has taken some of these awesome classes over the years: Music theory, Science, Math Movement, Fencing, Skateboarding, Basketball, History through Minecraft, California History, Readers Theaters, Lego Robotics, Coding, English, Jedi training, Cooking, Yoga, ASL and so many more. When my son needed an educational aide to assist him due to his learning challenges, they were fine with it and so supportive of her being there. All his teachers were. He never felt uncomfortable or out of place. She even told us what a great place it is also. The families and kids that attend are all so nice and accepting. I have never seen any bullying or mean spirted kids. It's very inclusive of all kinds of kids. We've made such great friends. I wish I could have gone to a place like LBB! We currently attend the beautiful Northridge location that has a big grassy yard and playground and the site managers there are just great with the kids. I trust them and feel so safe and calm to leave him there during the day and know when I pick him up, he'll have loads to share. The other locations are great too. We started here in 1st grade and after the pandemic my son wanted to try a private school with some other homeschool pals, but after the second year there we left because it was a bad environment, filles us with anxiety and dread and not what they claimed to be. So we went back to LBB. They welcomed him with open arms! On the 2nd day back our son said he felt comfortable, relaxed and that he can be more himself at Learn Beyond the Book. So glad we returned! Our son had his middle school graduation here at their end of year presentation. Yes. They give out diplomas, get school pictures and yearbooks too. They also have fun field trips, dances, game nights, pot lucks and other school community events. He's with a homeschool charter that we get funds for to pay for classes which is a bonus. He's in High School now and is learning so much. We've found his "school" and are here until he graduates High School! I urge you to check it out if brick and mortar "normal" schools aren't working for your family. Why should our kids be so stressed out and full of anxiety over school? There is a better way and place! My son has so much more confidence now, less worries and less homework and no anxiety! He feels so accepted here. We're so grateful to Elmarie and the whole staff at Learn Beyond the Book.

First, I loved meeting with Jen just to get acquainted with the options for test prep. We opted for remote tutoring (via the computer) over the portion of the summer we were out of town, and then we switched to in-home tutoring once we were back in LA.

We were in need of a plan for tutoring,…read morewith high school around the corner, and Jenn took the time to 'interview' us and help us identify a path and a weekly plan! She seemed very focused on finding a fit that worked specifically for us and not pitching us a pre made plan. She has many options and ways to work together that can be custom made. We have been so impressed every step of the way, from the educational consultation advising us on "great fit" schools, info on the high school admissions process, and options for the upcoming test prep. Jenn's work in the educational world and her work in admissions informs every part of the process. She also has a way of speaking to adults and young adults so that each feel a part of the process. Once we had a plan, the sessions have been easily planned with a written follow up that my daughter loves (fab for me too!). We had several choices for a tutor and found a perfect fit. My daughter has even been able to connect with her tutor in between sessions with subjects she'd like to attack next, which has allowed for very focused sessions. As a parent, I have found Jenn's professionalism, hands on flexibility, focus on personal goals and positive attitude to be a game changer in this tutoring area. I would recommend her and her business to anyone who is looking for a personal plan for child in need of tutoring in any area.

My daughters attended kindergarten here, and there was an incident involving a student exposing himself to other children. When I brought it to administration's attention, I was told that everyone already knew about it. What I found unacceptable was that parents were never notified. My daughter came home and immediately told me what had happened. Despite that, we decided to give the school another chance for first grade because my daughters had made friends there. We are only in the second week, and the school has already implemented a "closed campus" policy that prevents parents from walking their children in. My daughter was crying and nervous about going inside, so I wanted to walk her in and help her get to her line. Instead, the principal made me feel as though I was doing something wrong for simply trying to comfort my child. He said staff could walk her over. I understand the need for school policies, but I also think schools need to know when to prioritize the actual well-being and comfort of their students. It is frustrating to see such strict enforcement of a policy while more serious concerns have seemingly received far less attention. The priorities here are very disappointing, and unfortunately, I would not recommend this school.

A minimum of 5 sessions (monthly) is required for the monthly membership but you can add more if needed according to your child's needs. We came in and my son took an assessment that took 1.5 hours. To be fair it was said that this assessment was one of their longer ones. Every child that comes in, needs an assessment done so the facility can create a learning path for them. Once that's established a binder is created, which is used as a tool to guide them and challenge them when they come in. They also help with homework which was a priority for us. The team is made up of young adults who have recently graduated or in their senior year of high school. I personally thought it's a wonderful pairing because they can explain these new/current methods of math and can relate to their clientele. Personally, team leader Bianca was super helpful registering us and was knowledgeable in helping my teen with his homework. After his first session he felt like he was assisted in the way he needed to understand the material. Which is a WIN for us all! I highly recommend this facility to any parent who wants to support their child in excelling and comprehending math without fuss in a supportive environment.
