The Homeschool Association of California has
been around for a decade now, ever since a small group
of Bay Area homeschooling moms got together in 1987 to
start what was then called the Northern California
Homeschool Association. They’ve grown up a lot since those
early days of the two-page mimeographed newsletter. They
are a statewide organization of home schooling
families with lots to offer you to help you and your
family in its home schooling adventure. |

California Homeschoolers with the resources needed to

GETTING
SCHOOL CREDIT IN CALIFORNIA
|
|
If you want to get school credit
for California homeschool students, you have to hire a service to keep
records of all school courses that your children complete at
home. Since requirements vary from state to state, we
recommend using a service located within California.
Learning Things can provide you with the materials which can
be used to qualify for credit in any state. However, Learning
Things does not verify that your student has completed the
materials. For that, you would need to hire a record keeping
service. These services
are authorized by the state to keep records of your activities
and award your children with credits. To find a service in
your area, we recommend contacting any of the sources listed
above.
