Frequently Asked Questions

What is homeschooling?

Homeschooling is an educational approach where parents or guardians take primary responsibility for their children's education at home rather than sending them to a traditional public or private school. Families can customize the curriculum, pace, and teaching methods to fit their child's individual learning style and needs.

How do I start homeschooling?

Starting homeschooling involves several key steps: research your state's homeschool laws and notification requirements, choose a curriculum or educational approach that fits your family, set up a dedicated learning space, create a daily schedule, and connect with local homeschool groups for support. Kids on the Yard can guide you through every step of the process.

Do I need to be a certified teacher to homeschool?

In most states, you do not need to be a certified teacher to homeschool your children. Requirements vary by state, but the majority allow parents without teaching credentials to educate their children at home. Some states may require a minimum education level for the teaching parent. Our compliance team can help you understand your state's specific requirements.

How much does homeschooling cost?

Homeschooling costs vary widely depending on curriculum choices, extracurricular activities, and whether you use professional tutoring services. Basic curriculum materials can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per year. Many states offer ESA (Education Savings Accounts) or voucher programs that can help offset costs. Contact us to learn about funding options in your state.

Can homeschooled students go to college?

Absolutely! Homeschooled students are accepted at colleges and universities across the country, including Ivy League schools. Many colleges actively recruit homeschoolers because of their self-motivation and strong academic preparation. Proper transcript preparation and standardized test scores are key components of a successful college application.

What are the homeschooling requirements in California?

Homeschooling requirements in California vary and may include filing a notice of intent, maintaining attendance records, providing instruction in required subjects, and submitting to periodic evaluations or standardized testing. Our compliance support team stays current with California's specific regulations to help your family remain in full compliance.

Does California require standardized testing for homeschoolers?

Testing requirements for homeschoolers in California depend on the specific regulations in place. Some states require annual standardized testing, others accept portfolio reviews or professional evaluations, and some have no testing requirements at all. Our team can help you understand and meet California's assessment requirements.

Are there homeschool groups or co-ops in California?

Yes, California has a growing community of homeschool families with numerous co-ops, support groups, and enrichment programs available. These groups offer socialization opportunities, group classes, field trips, and sports activities. We can help connect you with established homeschool networks in your area of California.

The record-keeping service has been a lifesaver. I used to dread paperwork season, but now everything is organized and ready when I need it. Plus, my son's transcript looks professional for college applications.
