Is Keystone National High School Considered a Private School in California?

• I know that it's an online middle school/high school, but I heard that sometimes it's not considered a private school and sometimes it is. I'm just wondering because I want to know if I need to take CHSEE and if I need to follow the required high school courses in California if it's not considered a private school.

• Answer:

  I'm not familiar with that school, but many online schools have both private (you pay tuition) schools and tuition free schools (free online public charter schools). Not all states allow public schools online, some only allow private schools online. In CA, there are free online public charter schools, often they are under a company name that is sort of like an agency (which also probably has private online schools), which is why you might see several school names on their website. You likely have to follow the regular CA curriculum and testing. Here are some free online public charter schools in CA, look to see if you live in a county that is covered by the school.
