"I cannot thank you enough for such a powerful 3-day program. I arrived with the intention of learning something new. I returned with a holistic sense of who I am as a mom, professional, and learning being! That is so cool. I am a believer and you can count me on your side as we become change agents to our children."

"...I actually had one student in tears because he could not write his essay. Three days later I was teaching his whole class about mapping. He simply amazed me. He was writing! He had no idea that he was writing a paragraph but he was and he was so excited to be doing it. This works!"

Greetings!  Mariaemma/Victoria 

Here's a great quote from Anne Sullivan, the instructor and companion of Helen Keller:


"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think."

Here at LearningSuccess we believe that the job of education - whether it be traditional or independent study - is to bring out the genius that is already inside each child. All of our programs and products are meant to facilitate the development of an education that fits for every single student! We thank all of you who are helping us to spread this work.

 An Education That Fits!

· Is Your Teen in High School and Bored To Tears?

· Does High School Fail to Motivate Your Teen?

· Do You or Your Teen Think High School Is A Race to Nowhere?

 

teens at a tableStop wasting time and move beyond high school!

 

High school is not mandatory for a good life!

 

Rescue your teen from the futility and depression of high school without giving up the option of going to a competitive college or having a terrific career. 



Find out how at the Rethink Teen Seminar, Saturday, June 18, Palo Alto, CA. Mariaemma Willis, co-founder of LearningSuccess Institute and co-author of Discover Your Child's Learning Style will be one of the speakers at this seminar, along with John Taylor Gatto and others.

Learn how your teen can shed the chains of compulsory high school shackles and live an independent life of self-directed learning that will not only look good to college admission boards and potential employers - but will truly prepare your teen to be successful in the real world.

 

At this seminar we'll show you how young adults can spend their time in productive and meaningful ways. You'll learn why attending high school and doing standardized curriculum is a waste of a teen's time, talent, and youthful exuberance.

 

Think how different life would be if instead of nagging your teens to do schoolwork, you could collaborate with your teens to create challenging learning adventures that develop the skills they need to achieve their dreams!

If you are interested in this concept but cannot attend this seminar, give Mariaemma a call at 805-648-1739, to find out about other options. Also, see below to check out our independent study programs, that are customized to meet each student's learning needs. 



Solimar Academy - A premier independent study high school for  career & life success! 


Switch to an Education That Fits...

Did you ever wish that you could have chosen the courses that appealed to you in high school - courses that focused on your interests, talents, career goals - topics that were exciting to you?

How about your kids? Would they like a high school like that?

Most people do not know that this is possible! If your kids are miserable and suffering in high school (even home school high school) then think about this option.

We are now working with students who are focusing on their interests in fashion, cooking, engineering, drama and the arts, and many other areas. Their high school programs revolve around these interests. Their programs include internships and mentorships, work experience, and volunteering. Skills in areas such as writing or math are included as needed and in ways that work for their learning styles. A big part of their programs is exploring their career goals and figuring out how to get there.

If you are home schooling your high school students or are thinking about it, here are some resources for this model:

kidsThe LearningSuccess Homeschool Program

The LearningSuccess Institute is registered as a private school in California for grades 1-8. (for high school see article above)


If you are home schooling and would like a certified LearningSuccess Coach to be your mentor throughout the year, consider joining our program...

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?
