Newport Beach families tend to hold education to a high standard — and an increasing number are deciding that the best way to meet that standard is outside a classroom altogether. Between demanding schedules, competitive athletics, and children who simply need more than one-size-fits-all teaching, homeschooling here is less an experiment than a deliberate strategy.
Edu-K matches that ambition. We provide qualified, experienced educators for one-to-one tutoring in your home or online, plus small group sessions at our Orange County learning center, and full-time schooling there or in your home — all held to the standard you’d expect from a top private school.
Private-school standards, homeschool flexibility
One-to-one tutoring. Rigorous, personalized instruction in math, English, sciences and humanities — planned from a thorough initial assessment and taught by experienced professionals. Whether your child is consolidating, catching up, or working well beyond grade level, the teaching meets them exactly where they are.
Group tutoring. Small, carefully composed group sessions for homeschoolers who benefit from academic peers — genuine discussion, healthy competition, and structured teaching in groups small enough to stay personal.
Full-time schooling. Our most complete program — and the core of what Edu-K does. Your child enrolls, free, in an accredited California online public school (which covers the curriculum, records and an accredited transcript), and Edu-K educators teach the school day — in small cohorts at our Orange County learning center, or in your home — mornings 8:30am–12:30pm. Monthly fees from $1,070 depending on days per week — see the full-time schooling page for details.
Summer & holiday camps. Academic camps through the breaks — structured learning, projects and activities that keep standards high year-round.
Built for demanding schedules
Newport Beach raises competitive sailors, tennis players, equestrians and water polo athletes — children whose training and travel commitments make conventional schooling impractical. Keeping those students academically excellent around sport is one of Edu-K’s core specialties. Sessions flex around regattas, tournaments and training camps; education bends, standards don’t. See our student-athletes page.

Common questions from Newport Beach homeschool families
We’re considering leaving private school to homeschool. Can you support that transition?
Yes — it’s one of the most common journeys we support. We assess where your child is against their current school’s curriculum, then build a program that keeps continuity while unlocking the flexibility you’re switching for.
Can you prepare my child for re-entry to a top school later?
Absolutely. Homeschooling doesn’t have to be permanent to be worthwhile. We keep students aligned with — or ahead of — independent-school expectations, so doors stay open.
Do you teach advanced and gifted students?
Frequently. Accelerated learners are underserved by age-locked classrooms; one-to-one teaching lets us move at the pace your child is actually capable of.
How discreet is the service?
Completely. Sessions happen in your home or online, and we discuss your family’s arrangements with no one.
Where do sessions take place?
One-to-one tutoring happens in your home or online — whichever suits your week. Group sessions run at our Orange County learning center, and full-time schooling can be taught there or in your home. We’ll map the right setup for your family in your free consultation.
