Where can I find a homeschool in Santa Cruz?

Question

I'm in highschool and am relocating to Santa Cruz, California. I prefer to homeschool, but have been unable to find one.

Answer 1

Do you mean an online school? (That's not technically a "homeschool".) Or do you mean a charter school to sign up under? I know that's very common in California. Check out http://www.hslda.org for the legal requirements for homeschooling and see if you can do what you are wanting to do through the home education laws.

Answer 2

I used a FREE program online that Cali now offers, it is free, because it is subsidized by the public school system of Cali  and it  is called California Virtual Academy.  You can get all the info at their web site....www.caliva.org .  You even get free materials and a free computer while you are enrolled, and meet with a local teacher once a month, at the library or where ever. Great Program!  Good Luck!

Answer 3

A homeschool is in your home

Anything else is called Alternative School

Private school is alternative, Church school is alternative.

Home school is in your home with books your obtain from outside sources such as Borders Books, Follette Publishing, ABeka, Penn Foster, etc.

HOME school never changes, that's the beauty of it.  You can take it on a vacation, take it to Europe, take it to Japan, but it's the same.

Same books, same programs, same tests.

You don't "go somewhere else" for home cooking.  Home cooking comes from your stove at home.

ANything else is called "eating out"

Oh, please, don't make us ashamed of homeschoolers!

Answer 4

You see, that question is funny to me because, in my mind, homeschool is found in your home.   We learn everywhere we go but we decide what we want to learn.

Answer 5

You don't 'find' a homeschool.

Homeschooling is something you organise and do for yourself, maybe with the help of your mum.

You could find the details of a Distance Education provider (such as an online school, correspondence school, virtual school, independent study programme etc) in California which would enable you to enroll and then study their programme at home, using their materials etc...but that is not homeschooling. It's simply 'doing school at home' which is not the same thing at all.
