What You Need To Know About Online Schooling
​
​
MANY WAYS OF LEGALLY HOMESCHOOLING
 
We use the term ‘homeschool’ to mean that you have chosen a path other than traditional school to educate your child. Choosing to homeschool does not imply that all ‘schooling’ will be done at home. On the contrary, we see homeschooling as the ability to use the world as your classroom, helping our kids to seek out learning opportunities in every corner and under every rock!
 
In California, all children aged 6-18 are required to be enrolled in a public school UNLESS they are attending a full-time private day school or are being taught by a private tutor that holds a CA teaching certificate. Luckily for all of us, there are many options to homeschool in California, and every day there seems to be more! The following is a primer on the basics – the options are listed in order of most parent-controlled at least parent-controlled. 
 
THE PRIVATE SCHOOL AFFIDAVIT (PSA)
Parents can file their own Private School Affidavit to basically create your own private school for your family. As the head of your school, you must maintain all of the states required records and you are in control of how subjects are taught. You must file a PSA agreement every year between October 1-15. Just because you don’t file until October doesn’t mean that the school isn’t “legal”.  It is legal when you open it up, and you may withdraw your child from public school and put them into your private school at any time. If you decide to open your private school after October 15, you must file the PSA at that time. If you decide to open your school in August for the coming year, enroll your child in your school, and make sure you file the PSA between Oct 1-15.
​
The PSA provides you with great freedom to design your child’s education, but you must pay attention to any state laws governing education, and to help with this you can join a couple of organizations that watch and report changes. We recommend joining CHN and HSLDA.   There are no state tests that you must take, and there is no financial help from the state for this education.
 
THE PRIVATE TUTOR
According to state law, children in California may be tutored at home by a private tutor that holds a CA teaching certificate. Check with current state law on the minimum number of hours/day and days/year that are required. Note that the tutor can be anyone that has an up to date, valid teaching certificate, but it can only be used to teach grades that are on the certificate.
There are no state tests that you must take, and there is no financial help from the state for this education.
 
THE INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM (ISP)
There is no one-size-fits-all within the world of ISPs! There are MANY options to consider in Independent Study Programs, and your unique situation will be the determining factor if this option will work for you.  Los Angeles County has a number of charter schools that support homeschooling through an Independent Study Program. In these programs, students receive Instructional Funding for classes along with an assigned teacher that will help them navigate the educational requirements in California. The ISP may also provide onsite classes, boxed curriculum, borrowed curriculum or a combination of these benefits. Each charter school works a little bit differently, and each will suit different types of families. Most of the charter schools are now WASC and is monitored yearly. It indicates that the school is maintaining all of their files correctly, a credentialed teacher has approved the level of difficulty for classes that a student receives credit for, the educational plan contains the, accredited (Western Association of Schools and Colleges). This is a difficult accreditation to achieve stated mandated content, yearly testing is done, learning samples are collected, and more. What to look for in a charter school ISP:

Curriculum Choices For Individualized Learning

September 5, 2017

What curriculum should I choose?

Questions to consider:

  • What are my children's learning styles?

  • Where are they developmentally?

  • Are they far ahead in certain subjects, while lagging behind in others?

  • How much freedom do I think children should have to follow their own interests?

 

The choice of a curriculum is based on your educational philosophy and the learning styles and developmental stages of each child. What curriculum you choose will be governed by your personal educational philosophy.  Children should learn at various ages and master all skills. We believe a coherent body of shared knowledge is more democratic and helps create cooperation and solidarity in our nation. Each child, while pursuing his interests, will develop the necessary skills and accumulate the necessary facts for success in the enterprise of his choosing a variety of resources.

 

Customizing for your children's needs: When you choose your curriculum it is beneficial to be familiar with one or more of the learning style modalities so that you can decide what materials best mesh with your child's learning styles.

Student Admissions

April 5, 2021

AAC has one philosophy at its core: student-centered learning. We take an unorthodox approach to individualized courses of study that allows students to pursue their interests and passions in addition to required material. Our goal is to have education adjust to the unique characteristics of each student educational performance.

 

"We cater their education to match their aptitudes and abilities of authentic learning."  We keep our enrollment low and accepts students only when space is available.
