History
Founded in 1985.
In 1985, Dr. Karen Glynn Bishop founded the first Futures High School in Southern California as an alternative to traditional high school. Futures, later renamed Halstrom, program is based on the concept of personalized, one-to-one instruction in a nurturing learning environment.
Inspired by Oxford...
The Halstrom concept was inspired by England's famed Oxford University. Oxford has no classrooms. Students learn by meeting with their professors individually.
Without Boundaries.
Since that time, Halstrom, formerly Futures, High School has grown to three campuses in Southern California: Vista, Mission Viejo and San Diego. With the success of the Halstrom educational community, Halstrom High School® - Online was founded to extend the benefits of the Halstrom's concept and curriculum to students throughout the world.
