PRIVATE HOMESCHOOLING: California Christian Academy is a state-wide private school satellite program (PSP) designed for parents who choose to homeschool their children. CCA supports homeschooling as an excellent option for parents who want more involvement in their child's education. Opting for a PSP instead of a Public School Charter (details below) gives parents significant freedom to choose curriculum and align their child's values with the family's worldview. Parents are responsible for the cost of books, materials, and creating daily teaching schedules for their family.

 

The administrator serves as a guide, but how you approach homeschooling with the purchased curriculum (which includes an example of a reputable company I represent) is up to you. is entirely up to you. The website offers various resources, including a CA Teaching Guide, which outlines public school standards. Most mainstream curriculum providers exceed California standards—see the list in the upper left corner of the provided link.

 

PUBLIC SCHOOL CHARTER: The CCA administrator also considers public school charters a great choice for families seeking independent study options with more oversight from credentialed teachers. Charters provide free books and materials at no cost to parents. If you feel you need more supervision, a public school charter might be a better fit. You can use the public school charter locator for more information.
