"Homeschooling" is not the same as schooling at home.

If you think homeschooling is all just schoolwork at the kitchen table, you and your children are missing out.

​

Standards and curricula were designed for crowded classrooms. They are how teachers are able to keep all the children on the same page -- literally!!

​

But when you homeschool, you have so much more flexibility and resources that you can use, both at home and outside the home.

​

Homeschoolers learn from much more than one teacher and one textbook. Homeschoolers can learn from:

​

  • library books

  • projects

  • classes with friends

  • frequent field trips 

  • nature hikes

  • theme parks

  • Minecraft

  • experiments

​

These experiences are more personalized, fun, and powerful than learning through a set curriculum. 

​

How to start homeschooling

​

If you're new to homeschooling in California, you may be wondering how to get started. There are two main ways that families homeschool in California:

​

  1. Independent
    File a Private School Affidavit with the state to establish your own private school. Visit California Homeschool Network for more information.

  2. Charter School
    There is a growing number of charter schools that provide classes and materials for students that learn outside a traditional classroom. Here are some of them.

​

All students are welcome to participate in Celebration Education classes and events, regardless of the learning approach you choose.
