Sustainable homeschooling is possible!
You are basically registering yourself as a private school in order to legally homeschool in California. If you are enrolled in a Private School Satellite Program (PSP), the school’s administrator files one affidavit for the whole group, so it is not necessary for you to submit a PSA. See Homeschool plan here.
PSA must be filed between October 1st and 15th. The Private School Affidavit form for the current school year is available on the CDE’s website, visit http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ps/affidavit.asp.
