What stands out
- Distance to South Bay: Located in Hawthorne, a South Bay city
- Curriculum: Public charter school, so California law requires nonsectarian curriculum, but no direct quote confirming this was found on the school's own site in the pages checked (unlike some other charters in this directory, which state it explicitly).
What parents say
A few excerpts from GreatSchools, picked to show a spread of experiences rather than only the best ones. Each quote links to the full review on GreatSchools, where there may be more.
-
“My children are now in 5th and 7th, we have been with Connect since kindergarten. This school has afforded my family the opportunity to spend more time together, bonding and growing.”
-
“My family joined this incredible School for Homeschoolers, because it's a place for our two kids to learn in a positive group setting with amazing teachers and support crew!”
-
“School was not supporting the parents. They cared more about the teachers then the students. Be ready to be all on your own.”
Questions to ask
- Which 2 days of the week are the on-campus days for our child's grade, and how fixed is that schedule?
- What does the parent's role look like on the 3 home days: fully parent-directed, or is curriculum/pacing provided by the school?
- Since 2026-27 is wait-list only, what are our realistic odds of an offer this year versus applying fresh for 2027-28?
