Nevada City Home Study Charter School

Consider another (any other) school - you have lots of options in Nevada City. We left after bullying this spring and the shcool would not respond. The local Waldorf School has been great for us. The education is great without being too strict in math/etc, our kids really responded. And the staff is really engaged, lots of 1-on-1 attention! We love it for both our kids (grades 2 and 5). We have friends at two other local/independent charter shools that are happy as well.
