This Week's Vendor Spotlight: KR Spanish
KR Spanish brings customized and creative ways to learn Spanish. Private online classes provide the opportunity to create an individual lesson plan for each particular student need. Lesson plans are designed to focus on writing, speaking, and reading. Also, lesson plans are adjusted based on the student’s ability to learn. Teaching Spanish not only allows me to share my native language but it also allows me to show students some of the cultural differences among the different Spanish speaking countries. No matter how little or vast your knowledge in Spanish is, there is always something new to learn. KR Spanish also provides High School credit language.

Audrey Everson
Hi everyone! I am a mom of 3 awesome kids ranging in age from 10 to 6 years old. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and have been married for 16 years. Having homeschooled our children over the last 6 years in 3 different states, I've found homeschooling here in California, especially with Inspire Charter, has been a great fit for our homeschool journey. I am grateful for our ability to homeschool so freely and I aspire to assist other families with their own homeschool adventures!
