Learn Beyond the Book operates from Newhall in the Santa Clarita Valley, offering hands-on, project-based classes — robotics, game design, art history, chemistry — for homeschooled students across LA County. Its philosophy centers on curiosity-driven exploration over test scores, placing it firmly in the self-directed education tradition. Each June, that philosophy scales up into the Summit: a multi-element event featuring over 20 speakers, an expo day with curriculum and resource vendors, and a kids camp running concurrently. It is one of the few secular, self-directed-focused homeschool gatherings in Southern California.
