Laguna Beach is known for its coastline and its arts scene, and for homeschool families that makes for a classroom unlike most. A single day can include tide pools in the morning and a gallery in the afternoon. What many families want to add is the structure that keeps math, English and science moving at the same pace.
Edu-K pairs Laguna Beach homeschool families with experienced educators for one-to-one tutoring and small-group sessions, and offers a full-time schooling program, all built around your child’s pace and your family’s schedule. Edu-K is led by Karuna Shah, a British-qualified teacher.
Learning around Laguna Beach
The city’s own surroundings give homeschoolers plenty to work with. Crystal Cove State Park, just up the coast, is a natural setting for marine science and coastal ecology. Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park and Laguna Canyon bring in habitats, geology and hiking, and the Laguna Art Museum and the city’s long-running summer art festivals give art and art history a real-world home.
We plan the academic side so that this kind of learning has room to breathe. Written work, reading and math are scheduled around the outings, and we can build projects that link what a child sees on the coast to what they are studying at the desk.
How we work with Laguna Beach families

Group tutoring. Small-group sessions at our Orange County learning center, where homeschoolers learn alongside other homeschoolers.
Full-time schooling. Your child enrolls, free, in an accredited California online public school, and Edu-K educators teach the school day in small cohorts, mornings 8:30am to 12:30pm. Monthly fees start at $1,070. See the full-time schooling page.
