So it looks like we may be moving back to San Diego, for an unknown length of time. I am from San Diego, but have never homeschooled there. If this happens, we will need to get in with a charter that provides funding for homeschooling. Some optional classes on a campus a day or two per week might be nice, too, but not necessary.

What options have you guys used or heard of? How much funding do they provide? How much time does it take to fulfill their requirements?

 

Did you ever get help with this? I never saw a PM, so if you need any help, please let me know. 🙂

In Contra Costa County and in need of charter recommendations. Anyone local?

I'm in Contra Costa as well 🙂 The big ones in our area currently are Visions, Compass, CalPac, and Valley View. To my best knowledge, Visions, VV, and Calpac have waiting lists. Compass does not currently.

Hey, neighbor! I submitted applications with Visions, VV, Vista Oaks, CWEB, and Compass. VV and Vista Oaks waitlisted us and I still haven't heard from Visions or CWEB. Compass apparently can't cap enrollment as part of its charter agreement, it just hires out more educational specialists to fill the need, so my understanding is we're guaranteed a spot with them should I not hear back from the others. Do you use a charter? We moved from out of state in September so still getting acquainted with CCC and completely new to the charter system.

Hi Everyone!

I am currently in Rocklin, CA.

I have also lived in Roseville, Lincoln, & Citrus Heights. We rent, which means we move more often, unfortunately, but the general area is home. 🙂 Luckily we homeschool, so our education has never been interrupted. 😉

I have a local Facebook homeschool social group for this general area that we have been with for maybe 8 years. We meet every week, with multiple events on the weekly calendar ( joining as each of our individual schedules allow, we do not have attendance rules.) It is primarily a social group rather than a co-op, with varying homeschool styles. I only know a few families using similar curriculum.


I'd love to connect with other classical method families. We have always leaned classical (without knowing what to call it, just recognizing what worked well for us) and I only just this year started to pull the pieces together, read The Well Trained Mind, found this forum...

I am excited to have settled into a comfortable place with a proper vision for our homeschool as my oldest enters 7th grade next month. I also have two little ones, ages 3 & 4, and for them I do intend to begin with the classical method from the start, hopefully experiencing less hiccups and "well that didn't work" moments along the way.

Maybe I'll find some other local families who will be willing to meet up and/or allow me to ask questions along the way as we incorporate more of the classical style to our routines?
