getting started
You've decided that you must homeshool, but how to begin? There are
many options in California for the homeschool family and you'll need
to familiarize yourself with them to make the best choice for your
family.
charter schools and isps
You may want to begin as a part of a charter school program or one of
the many public school, private or religious independent school
programs. This will allow you to teach your student at home yet still
have the guidance and structure that these programs provide. They can
supply your curriculum and materials and will have organized classes
and field trips planned. These programs usually maintain your state
required files for each student, provide the recommended state
testing, meet with you on a monthly basis to review the student's
progress as well as issue report cards. Each program has it's own
methods and requirements so be sure to shop around and find one that
fits your families needs.
which way is best?
Only you can decide. What works for one family may not work for
another, so be sure to explore your options. Talk with other families
and then choose for yourself. You can always change directions if you
find that your choice isn't working in your home. One of the beauties
of homeschooling is having the freedom to choose and tailoring your
choice to fit each individual family.
