ISPY is a revolutionary independent study charter school designed for professional actors, athletes and musicians, as well as for at-risk youth wanting an authentically meaningful and rigorous homeschool experience. Our project based, individualized, real world curriculum is constructed around student interests and passions through internships and mentorships. Additionally, Activism, Fitness, Language and Art are central focuses at ISPY. ISPY is a tuition-free school with a projected start day for grades 6-12 of the Fall 2013. Please watch short video for more information or email [email protected]. The founding team has been working hard for over a year to bring this program to life and things are looking good. We are collecting signatures of support from homeschooling families and parents professional youth and others not successful in the traditional school. We want this list to prove there is a need for ISPY in Los Angeles and beyond. No commitment. Thank you for your help. Please indicate in comment field if you are a parent, a student, an educator, or a business professional. And take a look at the short video describing ISPY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbFrhCDtjp4 (copy/paste or click link to the right).

I have spent my mornings reading through your stories about the gaps in our current school system and they confirm exactly why I started this journey. These logs of your personal experiences are helping us build a real case for the board as we push for this program to finally open.

Seeing this kind of movement confirms that so many of you feel the same frustration with the traditional system that our family has felt for years. It is incredibly moving to realize how many of us are searching for a space that actually honors the unique path of our children.

This is exactly what my son needs. Traditional school has been a nightmare for his acting schedule and he is falling behind. Please bring this to LA ASAP.

Finally some common sense in education. Real world skills are way more important than just memorizing dates for a test. Hope this happens soon!

LA schools are failing our kids. My daughter is so bored she has stopped trying entirely. This project based stuff sounds like a dream.
