Abacus-es has been providing educational resources for many years (see About Us), including courses for homeschoolers at Excellence in Education, the definitive homeschool resource center in Monrovia, California. All of our classes are offered in the homeschooling spirit. Though our teachers are credentialed with many years of public school classroom experience, we are accutely aware of the shortcomings inherent in traditional schooling methods and strive to provide a highly flexible and inspiring alternative learning environment.
