  • Answer:

    Your Answer: You cannot just stop going in CA. You must do one of several things. You can file an affidavit with the state, as a private school. You can do that online, the forms for 2009-2010 are done in Oct. You can enroll him in an independent study course, like with your local district. You can enroll him with a charter school, or online one. Or you can hire a private tutor. You can read it all on http://californiahomeschool.net/howTo/pd%E2%80%A6 You will hear most people suggest (or nearly demand) you join the home schooling legal defense group, but before you do, read their FAQ. I found that they actively support a political issue that I strongly oppose. It has nothing to do with home schooling. You might even see if your son could take the CHSPE and be done with high school for good. You just have to be 16 or done with 10th grade. Then he can move on to community college, or a 4 year or whatever he wants. In CA the CHSPE certificate is legally equal to a diploma. You should notify the school where he was going, to fill out the formal "drop" papers. But, do not just do it without something, or he is truant.

First step that I recommend is going to this web site: http://www.youcanhomeschool.org/starthere/info.asp They will provide info on how to get started, what your state laws are, and what support groups are in your area. A local support group can provide great information about what classes and activities are available to you so that you can make a better informed decision to go online or to do some local classes. Some colleges have dual enrollment programs where you can get credit for both high school and college saving your senior time and money. Enjoy the adventure of homeschooling!
