This video gives all the details you'll need to legally homeschool in California. You may not have known it, but California is one of the best places in the nation to homeschool, not only because it's easy, but because there are homeschool charters that offer funding to homeschool families.
In the video I discuss a few links, which you can find below...
California Homeschool Network's Homeschool Information Document:

So helpful! I was so confused to pull my son out of school in 2020 in the pandemic. Classical Conversation really helped me last year. If I could watch this videoast year, I would be happier. I just put my son in public school last month, but I will pull him out this month because he crys every night. Thank you.

I'm so sorry your son is having a hard time, but he's lucky to have a mom like you ♥️. This year you can only file the PSA between October 1st-15th, but you can pull him out before that.

I do have a question though I need to withdraw my children from school before next week and I try to go to the link where I can get the form to give the school, but it says it’s close until October 1 how can I go about it ? I feel my like one of my children’s school will try giving me a hard time

@@DivineLoveconciousness last year for the first time they'd kept this link open all year. In the past, you could pull your child out of school at any point and say you are homeschooling, and then fill out the PSA in October when the link became available. I assume it's the same now, but your school may still give you a hard time. If they do, tell them the PSA form is unavailable until October. Ask them to provide you with whatever law that says you cannot pull your child out of school to homeschool unless you fill out a PSA that is not currently available. If they continue to give you a hard time, join HSLDA. This is a subscription lawyer service that specializes in homeschool law. They will take care of any problems very quickly. I believe California homeschool Network also has a similar lawyer service.

Ive been homeschooling since kinder and we are in 1st grade. I had no idea about all the law requirements. I've never filed a PSA form. My son is about to be 8 and I am wondering if I can get in trouble for not knowing a lot about what the requirements were like the attendance sheet, or physical exams or the vaccine record etc. We use ABEKA since day 1 and I came across this video in researching other homeschool alternatives. My children have never been enrolled in public school. My son once was enrolled in a private preschool though when he was 4.

Well, it's unlikely that you would ever get in trouble, but if you ever have a nosy neighbor or an opinionated relative who turns you in, you could get in trouble.

I believe you can. When you fill out a PSA you are essentially creating a little private school. Later on your child will be "enrolled." They don't actually ask for your child's name when you fill out the psa.

Hi. Great info thank you. I’m a local SCV mommy that would love to homeschool when it’s time. I started looking into this because I chose to stop vaccines for my kiddos. Can u give info on Learn beyond the book type locations? Do they require kids to be vaccinated to attend? Thank you!

I don't think they require vaccinations right now, but in California that seems to be something you need to re-evaluate on a weekly basis.

Thankyou for this video, I didn't know this information. I tried pulling my daughter out, and the office said that for their School, we couldn't just take her out, we need to show proof that we have a carriculum set up and ready to go for that next day.

You're welcome :-) if you live in California the information you received from the school is not correct. you do not have to provide proof of a curriculum to your child's old school.
@HomeschoolVoices
@HomeschoolVoices 2 жыл бұрын
Also, whenever a school tells you something that you suspect might be incorrect, ask them to provide the specific law they are referring to that gives them the authority to do whatever it is they are trying to do. that way if they are correct, you can look the law up yourself. But if they are not correct, they will usually back off.

Hello! My child has already started the school year here in California for 2nd grade. Would I be able to withdraw my child from the school district and wait till October to file the PSA ? Currently, October is a little over a month away. Would I be in trouble for having my child withdrawn for that long? Thanks! 😊

You should be able to. I have had several friends do this many times in the past. This year however, I have had several people reach out to me because they're local school district is giving them a hard time for doing this. The thing is, schools absolutely cannot hold your kids hostage. What I recommend is to provide a screenshot of the page showing that the PSA filing is closed until October 1st. if they continue to give you a hard time, I would ask that they show you what law gives them the authority do not allow you to pull your child outout of school and homeschool them even though the state has closed the PSA filing.

I enrolled my 5.5 year old in public school for Kindergarten and now want to pull her out and homeschool. She will not turn 6 until the end of September (after the school year starts). Is the PSA still necessary since she is not yet 6 and Kindergarten isn’t compulsory in CA? I cannot find this answer anywhere. Thank you 🙏

Ok. So what I'm seeing is that I can't file the PSA for the current school year until October 1st, but since our school starts in August, I would need to still notify the school that I am withdrawing my students so they aren't marked truant. Do I have that correct?

@@edwinzaragoza9606 as far as I can tell there is no law that enables them to do this, but I do know that several schools are telling parents that they cannot pull their kids out of school without a PSA, even though the PSA is not currently available as it was last year. I would start by asking the school to provide the law giving them the power to hold your kid hostage, and if they still push back, I would join hslda for legal assistance.

It depends on what you want the diploma for. For a job, you can issue a diploma. For colleges, you'll want to reach out and see what their requirements are. Most people don't do GEDs.
