My Kid Hates School!

In California, Public School isn't required and it isn't the only road to college or a good career...it isn't event the BEST road.
Bring your questions, your skepticism, and your teen.

About our Liberated Learner Cohort
Our first cohort opens in January 2027. Learners 15 years old and up will come together at our Fig Garden Learning Center for community, socialization, workshops, labs, and interest driven group sessions as well as one on one tutoring and advisory meetings. Advisory meetings reflect on everything they are learning and doing at Bungalow, at home, community college classes and volunteer work, sports, jobs, and passion projects. Advisors help learners set goals, and hold themselves accountable for results.
