This school really fell apart. I would not recommend it to any students who care about their education and social life, especially if they were looking to pursue higher education.

The teachers and site coordinates at Trivium are all friendly and helpful people to work with. The homeschool atmosphere was really a comfort to me since I had never attended a public school. I would like to see more advanced classes offered at Trivium. While classes are fun and allow for lots of creativity, they lack challenging material for students who wish to go on to college.

They discriminate against children with special needs (as they "can't support them"), for social- emotional support they bully kids via a tough love approach (which is archaic), and cons...

Our kids were only able to attend a Trivium in Lompoc for a few months before we moved. They were sad to leave this great school. We were sad to leave an amazing homeschool/charter school hybrid. We loved this school, it is a much better fit for advanced students compared to Crestview on Vandenberg...
