​

WHAT IS A PSP?

​

A PSP is a private school which has filed an affidavit with the state, meaning that the PSP is now operating as a private school in the state of California.  When you sign up to homeschool with a PSP, you become a designated teacher for your homeschool. You have the freedom to teach your students in the way they learn best, while the PSP administrator manages the records required by California's Department of Education, as well as checks in periodically to maintain progress and accountability.  For example, the administrator will ask you to turn in the required attendance records and course of study each year. This is not complicated and easy to do. Furthermore, the PSP may provide additional services to support your homeschool. 

​

Most commonly, this will be during the summer months (June-August) for the upcoming school year; however, we are happy to discuss with prospective families throughout the year. New families will complete an initial interview, in addition to filling out the enrollment paperwork and submitting fees.

Parents' Responsibilities

Parents are responsible for their child's education, which includes meeting their needs emotionally, physically, and academically. This can look very different in each family. You may choose to teach everything yourself, or gather friends to form a co-op/group and take turns teaching subjects. You may do some online classes either recorded or live, to help with some subjects that you don't feel comfortable teaching. You may want to hire a tutor for your child to help with a certain subject. The options are endless.

Welcome to the freedom that is homeschooling.

"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."

​

This quote from Socrates is as true today as it was two thousand years ago, and it sums up what home education is meant to be. I hope it brings a smile to your face and puts hope in your heart.
