Homeschooling in California

Families in California may join and benefit from Homelife Academy's record keeping, transcript, diploma, and counseling services. We are happy to serve you and your family. Here is some more information and links to help you get started.

Legal Options:

• Option 1. Under § 48222, the individual home school could qualify as a private school by filing an annual private school affidavit. 
• Option 2. Homeschoolers could enroll in a private school satellite program and "homeschool” through that private school. The private school “satellite school program” (PSP) must comply with Cal. Educ. Code § 48222 (see #1 above). Many homeschool families have organized these private PSPs which enroll anywhere from two to several hundred families.
• Option 3. The home school could have instruction provided by a certified private tutor (Cal. Educ. Code § 48224).
• Option 4. The child could be enrolled in an independent study program at home, using the public school curriculum. Cal. Educ. Code § 51745. Under this option, the child is considered a public school student and has to abide by the rules and policy of the public school. Complete details here.
