Greetings. Homeschooling is lawful in California, however, you are required to observe a few prerequisites before starting to homeschool. Actually, homeschooling in California is a right of parents established by the state and regulated by laws. It requires not too much government oversight. Families who wish to homeschool in California are free to choose the majority of the things they deem appropriate for their child to study but must cover certain obligated classes as well. A parent teaching their child at home is not obligated by law to be certified as a teacher in California. Having said this, studying with curriculum developed by a state licensed teacher is advisable even if the licensed educator is not a California teacher. In California, the homeschool laws and regulations are few compared to other states which might require frequent evaluation or annual testing. In order to conduct a home study program in California, homeschooling families must follow eight requirements.File an annual private school affidavit and give a name to their school
Maintain 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
Keep a list of courses of study
Keep immunizations records or personal beliefs exemption
Thanks for the homeschooling advice
