Four legal options for homeschooling in California. 1. Enroll in a public independent study program or public Charter School. 2. File the R-4 annually with the California Department of Education and maintain all records for your own private school. 3. Hire a credentialed tutor. 4. Enroll in a private school satellite program (or PSP) such as Branson Academy. We accept traveling homeschoolers and international homeschool students where instruction is English-based. Please check your state requirements for homeschooling before enrolling in our PSP. Branson Academy does not enroll students residing in states which require students to register with a PSP in that state. (Example: Washington State) DISCOVER YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING STYLE
