Greetings, Homeschooling is legal in California, nevertheless, you need to comply with several requirements before you begin to homeschool. 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 requirements. Families who wish to homeschool in California are at liberty to have control over many of the elements they deem appropriate for their child to learn but must cover some required subjects as well. A parent or guardian homeschooling their child elsewhere than at school is not obligated by law to be accredited as a teacher in California. Yet, studying with curriculum developed by a state certified teacher is recommended even if the certified 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. In order to conduct a home study program in California, parents must follow 8 mandatory requirements.File an annual private school affidavit and give a name to their school
Keep an attendance register
Teaching must be done in English
Instructors must be qualified
Provide instruction in the courses regularly covered in public school such as math, science, ELA, health, social studies
Keep a list of the instructors with their addresses and qualifications
Maintain a list of courses of study
Keep immunizations records or personal beliefs exemption
Thanks for the homeschool advice
