Does California law allow homeschooling?

  Demiah_2005 » Fri, 17 Jul 2020 07:40:41 AM



Hello from the beautiful Golden State! study May I home school in Alameda County, California? If someone can share their experience with the program, and any California homeschool groups it would be great. Can someone point me in the correct direction or provide their insight? study

Hey,study The answer is yes. You are permitted by law to home school in Alameda County, California, however, make sure you follow the prerequisites required to homeschool your child in Alameda County, California. As it turns out, homeschooling in California is a right of parents established by the state and regulated by laws. It requires a little government oversight. Families homeschooling in California are able to choose most of the elements they deem appropriate for their students to study but must cover some required subjects as well. A parent or guardian teaching their students elsewhere than at school is not forced by law to be licensed as a teacher in California. Yet, using curriculum developed by a state licensed teacher is highly recommended even if the licensed educator is not a California teacher. In California, the homeschool laws and regulations are few when compared to other states which might require frequent evaluation or annual testing.

Hello there, Certainly, you are permitted by law to home school but you must comply with the home-school preconditions. Ping me if you need other homeschooling guidance.
