A Homeschool Experience for Creators & Thinkers
OUR VISION
“EUREKA! provides students the opportunity to participate in both academic and creative pursuits in a Christian environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, personal development, freedom to risk, and a sense of play. Our desire is to foster community through connection, creativity, and collaboration – and that all of us would be known and loved by one another and by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Join us!”
WHAT WE OFFER
EUREKA! offers a robust K-12th schedule of ongoing courses, including core subjects such as science, math, literature & composition, history, Spanish, as well as a vibrant offering of electives including theater, art, ASB, vocal arts, short filmmaking, improv & sketch comedy, finance, Shakespeare, novel bootcamp, fitness, puppetry, animation & gaming, orchestra, PE, basketball, volleyball, play-based classes, and much, much more! And many of the creative classes provide opportunities for showcases, performances, and art openings.
We’re blessed to have a vibrant team of Christian believers teaching a wide variety of subjects with excellence and passion – and often with a sense of humor! Many of them have been teaching our students for well over a decade, while others are joining us for the first time this fall.

WHAT'S WITH THE NAME?
EUREKA! evokes the sense of discovery that comes after exploring – from Archimedes in the bath discovering the principle of water displacement using a gold crown to the California Gold Rush adventurers discovering gold “in them thar hills!” And we personally view it as discovering the gold in our students. We believe God made each child unique with their own set of talents and abilities just waiting to be discovered!
“EUREKA! We found the gold in YOU!”
OUR STORY
In 2024, Shannon Baer said,”YES!” to the opportunity to bring a new type of homeschooling community to the San Gabriel Valley, and asked Danica Childs and Autumn Cornwell to join her in creating this new homeschool co-op, which became EUREKA!
Shannon, Danica, and Autumn are thrilled to partner with Pastor Joel & Elisha Larson and the First Presbyterian Church of Monrovia, (soon to be Monrovia Community Church) who have graciously offered to host EUREKA! on their lovely campus. The Larsons and their children have been part of our homeschool community and share our heart for creating a welcoming environment for our families.
