Depending on the resource center, we offer two distinct programs:
1. Personalized Learning: For grades 9 – 12 only. Personalized learning includes a flexible schedule, one-on-one attention, mentoring, career training and life skills. Students are required to attend at least once per week for an appointment with their supervising teacher. During this time, they will turn in and go over their weekly homework and take a test. Their supervising teacher will give them another two assignments to complete at home during the next week. Students often enroll in Learn4Life to catch up on credits or to graduate faster than at a traditional high school.
2. Home Study: For all grades, K-12. Students in this program will complete assignments at home with their parents acting as the teacher. Optional on-site classes are also available, in an effort to give students social skills and to take the burden off the parent in some of the more difficult courses. This program provides families with a certificated teacher who acts as an educational facilitator monitoring each child’s process, offering tips and tricks on how to teach the individual child, direction on scheduling the student’s academic day and counseling on best practices. Parents/students are required to meet with their teacher a minimum of once per school learning period (generally 20 schools days), but meetings can take place as often as needed.
Generally our orientations last for only about one hour or so. During this time, each new student will be able to choose which time and day they would like to come to school every week. They will be assigned a teacher and given their first packet of work to take home and complete.
Every student is different. At Learn4Life, we embrace that personalize your education plan to your individual needs and abilities.
Because our individualized model allows students to work at their own pace, some are able to accelerate their progress and graduate early. Please work with your teacher to determine what will work best for you.
Yes, you can. The flexibility our programs offer make us an excellent choice for pregnant or parenting students. If you have a child and need to bring them with you on your scheduled day of class, we will make arrangements for you to be in a private room so you can tend to your child while studying or taking a test.
Select Learn4Life centers also offer our HOPE Program, where student parents have a classroom designed for study in a child-friendly space. They study alongside their children and learn life skills, child development, health, food and nutrition and financial planning – all while working toward a high school diploma.
The HOPE Program will be expanding to more centers soon, but all our centers enthusiastically accept parenting students.
Yes. We take pride in creating a safe and comfortable environment for students to learn in. We have a zero-tolerance policy about bullying.

It is not a problem if you have been out of school for a period of time. We’ll help you pick up from where you left off. As long as you are under the age of 19, we can get you enrolled and started in our program. If you are enrolled in a WIOA program, then you are eligible to enroll up to 24 years of age. All you will need is your transcripts from the last school you attended and your immunization records.
Usually you can obtain your immunization records from your most recent school that you attended. If they do not have them then you can contact your treating physician and they will give you a copy.
In California, Learn4Life serves students in grades Kindergarten through 12. You can enroll as a new student up until the day before your 19th birthday. In our centers that have WIOA program partnerships, some students are eligible to enroll up to 24 years of age.
