The staff continues to learn about and implement LearningSuccess teaching methods and communication strategies, that lead to successful learning experiences for EVERY child!

Upcoming events in Ventura include Level 1 LearningSuccess Coach class at the end of July (see column at left).

One of our LearningSuccess Trainers, Rita Reese, is also offering a free learning styles information workshop on July 30. Click here for the details:

You can bring  LearningSuccess classes or training to your area:
We will schedule a class for your parent association, homeschool program, school, or other group.  Simply give us a call and we will discuss all the details.

If you are in Ventura, L.A., Orange, or San Diego Counties in California, or in the Port Huron, Michigan area, we have LearningSuccess Coaches ready to go!

We are looking forward to bringing our programs to your area soon!

All our best -

kiteSummer Is Break Time!

We are often asked what parents can do in the summer to help kids retain what they've learned during the school year. Should we practice math flash cards or spelling words, require daily reading, enroll in enrichment classes?

We say, take a break!

Why? Because everybody needs one - you do and so do your kids.

If you're not convinced think about this: Where skills are concerned, it's like riding a bike - once you can do it you never forget.

Once you know how to add or subtract, you can't forget. Once you can read, you can't forget. If you have a child that remembers a word one day and not the next, that means that child never really learned the word in the first place. He or she is guessing. If your child can do the equations when he has a whole page of them, then can't the next day, it's because he never really understood how to do those equations. Continuing to do this type of "practice" is useless. In these cases the program or methods need to change in order to meet the learning style needs of the child, so the child really can learn these skills.

But isn't there anything you can do to keep their brains sharp, you ask? Yes! Do real-life things together. When you cook, you are using fractions. If you re-do a room you have to figure out area for paint and flooring. Is your child saving up for something - she can figure out how much more she needs and how long it will take to earn it. Go to the store and add up the items to make sure you don't go over a certain amount. Visit museums, exhibits, art galleries. Use Information Mapping to discuss, plan, and record your experiences. Or the kids can each make movies, keep scrapbooks or journals, put together a photo album, figure the mileage for vacation destinations, plan a route on the map...the possibilities are endless.

These are all ways of integrating "school" with real-life - then math, reading, geography, and all the other subjects become relevant and your child will remember these lessons far longer than with flash cards or a worksheet.

Above all have fun! There is nothing better than having fun while learning and learning while having fun!

We often forget that fun and play are basic needs - for the kids and for the adults. We wish you all a healthy, enjoyable summer that is relaxing, rejuvenating, and filled with good memories.

kidsThe LearningSuccess Homeschool Program

The LearningSuccess Institute is registered as a private school in California. We offer a full elementary through high school program, and students receive a high school diploma.


What is so great about our program? Lot of things!
  • Each student's program is completely customized to take full advantage of that child's learning style
  • Students are encouraged to develop their natural talents and interests
  • Students learn "how to learn" rather than spending endless hours doing busy work and worksheets
  • No child is labeled LD, ADD, Dyslexic, etc. - we find their strengths and bring out the genius in every child
  • Parents learn to coach their kids for success!
Every family is assigned one of our LearningSuccess Coaches, who meets with you monthly - in person or on the phone. You receive support, recommendations, and coaching that boosts your confidence and empowers you to truly be your child's success coach.

Are you a new homeschooler...a little anxious or just downright panicked?
Are you a veteran homeschooler...wanting more for your kids?
Are you dealing with a child who hates school or would prefer to "daydream" all day, or is "behind" in reading or some other skill?
