Riverside County

Hello Riverside County!

October always has me feeling excited about the cooler months ahead. For some reason, just the sound of the word and all the October festivities leave me longing for cold nights filled with hot tea and warm fires. But, in California, October is just an extended summer. Am I right? The seasonal change is coming, though, and with that brings new twists and turns to your homeschool week. How are you preparing for fall once it officially hits?

Share your photos of your favorite highlights on social media and use the hashtags #AdventuresWithInspire and #HowIHomeschoolWithInspire!

It's fun to see what you are all doing and experiencing!

Please reach out anytime and get to know us!

We are so happy to answer all of your questions and guide you through

learning about homeschool philosophy, curriculum, and the homeschool lifestyle!

Don't let yourself drown in worry or fear over homeschooling.

If you find yourself there, reach out!

We hope to connect with you soon,

Audrey & Candice

Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 11 to 7 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 16 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 7 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
