This is the place to go for all things homeschooling! They have an insane amount of books, curriculum, games puzzles and more! They also offer classes and fieldtrips. My daughter attends the science class taught by Mr. Marty and she loves it! I even learn a thing or two when I tune into the class. Both Carolyn and Marty can answer any questions you have regarding homeschooling and curriculum, they even know which charter schools are better than others. Highly highly recommend this place to all parents

This place is absolute, hidden gem which I wish more people knew about. For starters the two people who own it are the absolute sweetest, kindest people I have met. Their custom service is excellent and their desire to help families navigate homeschooling is unmatched. You can tell when someone is doing something because they care, and that's what you'll find here--the love and care for your family and the future for children in general, just pours out of them. They do a lot of counseling for families that are new to homeschooling, as well as giving advice to families who have been homeschooling for decades. They've been through it and have the experience to help. If there was ever a place I wanted to recommend and get the word out about, this is it! They have both classes, which are great, and homeschooling books and supplies. You could spend hours and days just going through their shelves, and they're often restocked with new items. I would say I walk out with a handful of books ok a weekly basis. I always expect that I have thoroughly gone through all the shelves here and that there is nothing more to look through, and then I end up somehow leaving with another handful of books and supplies. They seem to get new stock of items coming in constantly. My favorite finds here are the used resources/workbooks. I have found so many workbooks that are listed as used but are unwritten inside. They range anywhere from 25 cents-$5, with the norm being around $2. I can't tell you how much money I've saved by coming here, and how much education my children have recieved from these books, that the otherwise wouldn't have. Please don't overlook the amazing deals and prices they have here! Not to mention that it makes such a difference being able to flip through workbooks and see what's inside, which you just can't do online. The list of what they have is never ending from math manipulatives, to board game style education materials, to Evan moor workbooks, to Bible based literature and curriculum, to beach ball blow-up globes, to "who was" books, to domino sets, to magic treehouse books, to science sets to a ton of Usborne books. Basically, if you can think of it, they have it. Lots of coloring books, anatomy workbooks, how to draw books, and hands on tools as well. They literally have it all, I could go on and on. It's not just books, they manipulatives and hands-on learning tools galore. For example, I spent over $100 on a math u see alpha set online from the math u see website, well they have the manipulatives box here at EIE for about $25. If only I had known back then! They also can use Charter funds to purchase items and order books in for you. They also have a free section in the front of the store with tons of books, videos, workbooks, etc. and it seems to get stocked with new items constantly. They also have really great classes. My daughter's taking an entrepreneurial class here, about owning a mock pizzeria, which she absolutely loves. We almost missed class last week, due to loosing my keys, and she was in tears at the thought of missing. Their classes are so awesome kids actually want to go to/do school work! If your child is missing the social aspect and friends from formal school these classes are a really awesome solution. All in all this place is amazing, the people are awesome, and I couldn't recommend it more. If you're a homeschooler who's not already coming here, this place is likely what's missing from your homeschooling journey!

This is the hidden So Cal gem for homeschool guidance and resources. They will take all the time in the world you need to guide you and answer all your questions. They offer floor to ceiling books, educational games, curriculum and other materials. They have classes 5 days a week, field trips, workshops, park days open to any homeschooler. Frankly, I would not have taken the leap without them! My family is so grateful, and my kids have grown so much and been able to follow their passions.

Floor to ceiling educational resources, endless support, advise, and encouragement....what more could I ask for? This small, but mighty center has all you need for students in independent study, charter school, homeschool, and enrichment programs. They offer a variety of classes on weekdays, a number of which my children have enjoyed. They've done robotics, acting, American Sign Language, hands-on science, entrepreneurship, and even woodshop! We love that they organize field trips, park days, and seasonal events that help foster community too. The Forte's have so much knowledge to share, and they bubble over with their passion for taking learning outside-the-box. I am so thankful for them.

I like this store alot...here U will find a plethora of inventory as well as classes, field trips, etc. Owners are very knowledgeable bout curriculum nd how to reach youth in terms of motivation and interests ... they will also typically have items you cannot find in a Lakeshore or chain. Not a homeschooler, we used this store to supplement academia in public school classes/ curriculum.

I could not homeschool without Carolyn & Marty and their school. The classes are wonderful and they are always there for advice and support. My kids love them too!
