Others really enjoy the benefits of going through a charter school. Any option has the potential to be a good choice, depending on your family's needs and circumstances.<\/p>\r\n<h2>California Homeschooling Laws<\/h2>\r\n<h3>Compulsory Education Ages<\/h3>\r\n<p>Children must attend school or be homeschooled starting at the beginning of the school year, when they turn 6 years old, and end on their 18th birthday, or upon high school graduation if they graduate before they turn 18.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Notification Requirements<\/h3>\r\n<p>If using the PSA option, you must file the Private School Affidavit between October 1st and 15th each year.<\/p>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AALP_California-Blog-Photos-AdobeStock_375414037.jpg\" alt=\"Parents overseeing the homeschooling of their children\" width=\"540\" class=\"right\" \/>\r\n<p>PSPs generally require enrollment before the new school year\u2014often between February and July, with deadlines varying by program and some allowing late add-ons on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\r\n<p>Charter independent study programs align with public school timelines\u2014applications due early in the year (February\u2013March), agreements signed before the school year begins, and orientation taking place around March\u2013April.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Instructional Requirements<\/h3>\r\n<p>Parents must offer instruction in the following subjects: English, math, social sciences, science, fine arts, health, and physical education. While California does not mandate a specific number of instructional hours for homeschoolers under the PSA option, it's recommended to provide consistent, age-appropriate instruction equivalent to what is typically expected in traditional schools. PSPs and charter schools may have additional or more specific requirements.<\/p>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/AALP_Guide_to_Homeschooling_in-Califorina-AdobeStock_321190034.jpg\" alt=\"Child practicing counting with paperclips\" width=\"540\" class=\"left\" \/>\r\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><p>A child who is being instructed by someone with a California teaching credential (such as a tutor), for the appropriate grade level, is exempt from public school attendance. This instructor may be the parent, provided they hold a valid credential. Instruction must take place for at least three hours per day between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., for a minimum of 175 days each school year, covering the branches of study required in public schools and taught in English. Families using this option are not required to file private school affidavits or submit reports to the state.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<h3>Recordkeeping<\/h3>\r\n<p>Maintain attendance records, courses of study, and immunization records. Though these are not submitted to the state, they must be kept on file.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Assessments<\/h3>\r\n<p>Standardized testing is not required for homeschoolers in California.<\/p>\r\n<h2>How Much Does California Pay for Homeschooling?<\/h2>\r\n<p>California does not directly pay parents to homeschool. However, families enrolled in public charter schools may receive funds to use on approved educational materials and services.
