Great news! Inspire has put a lot of thought into considering our academic calendars and have decided that Inspire will have ONE calendar for all students! In fact, we will never have multiple calendars again. This will be a positive change for our schools and will make many things much easier for everyone, particularly Teachers!

If you are still deciding which Online Subscriptions would suit your family, be sure to check out Inspire's OSP Handbook! If you have any additional questions, please email our wonderful OSP team here: OSP@inspireschools.org

As Inspire parents, we understand how helpful it would be to have all of the county's summer camps listed in one place. We have started gathering flyers for summer camps/courses our vendors are holding and put them all in one place for you here! You can click on the link to go straight to the vendor's website.

Don't see your favorite summer camp listed? You can email us to reach out to the vendor, or ask the vendor to email their flyer to us: shaemanique@inspireschools.org and ladan@inspireschools.org.

A premier tutoring service that focuses on conceptual learning. Math and Science Academy of Southern California was formed with the idea of providing high quality education for upper level AP courses while also serving the needs of the elementary and middle school levels.

Math and Science Academy of Southern California is not just another tutoring company, but a full-service educational company that provides workshops, online courses and videos, study skills, test-taking strategies and SAT Standardized test preparation.

Why choose us?

Detailed Explanations – Our tutors dive deep in explanation and stick to our commitment to ensure mastery rather than memorization.

Small Groups – We understand that sometimes students can get lost in a classroom of 25 or more students. Our small groups consist of 5-7 students ranging from middle school to high school thus ensuring a manageable teacher to student ratio.

Flexible Schedule – With twice a week access the student can get help immediately before a major assessment to ensure they have a solid understanding of the content.

Cost Effective – Group sessions are cost beneficial and are just as effective as private or semi-private sessions.

Sharpening Their Skills – The tutors keep the students engaged during the small group session to ensure they are able to keep up and are fully understanding the concepts.

Confidence – With a small group, students leave no longer intimidated by their perceived difficulty of the course but confident and excited.
