Halstrom Academy Mission Viejo

Kids learn differently. For some – no matter how hard they try – the traditional classroom is not a place where they thrive. Halstrom Academy recognized this 30 years ago when it pioneered the one teacher to one student teaching model. Since then, Halstrom has helped more than 16,000 students achieve their educational, personal and professional aspirations.

For Halstrom Academy Junior Connor Perkins, the traditional school model of six classes a day, five days a week, became both stressful and limiting, and caused him to struggle academically. By the time he was done with his school work, he had little time left for family, sports, and other interests. In searching for small class sizes in high school, Connor’s family discovered Halstrom. Since enrolling as an eighth grader, he has found he can have the lifestyle he wants and excel in school.

According to Connor’s mother, “Everything is so efficient at Halstrom. Connor used to miss sports practices and time with family because of the heavy homework burden at his former school. Now he can have the lifestyle he wants and still experience academic growth.”

Social studies and science are Connor’s favorite subjects, though with the 1:1 education at Halstrom, he says he enjoys all of his classes. He also finds the social setting much less daunting and has been able to make many friends at Halstrom.

One of Connor’s proudest achievements was becoming an Eagle Scout. According to Connor, the rank of Eagle Scout would have been impossible to obtain without 1:1 instruction and flexible class scheduling at Halstrom.
