Private School Affadavit (PSA)
You are basically registering yourself as a private school in order to legally homeschool. 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 2021-2022 school year is now available on the CDE’s website, visit http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ps/affidavit.asp.
To view our most recent update on the Private School Affidavit filing period, visit https://fpmca.org/2021/10/01/psa-2021-2022/
To get answers to some frequently asked questions concerning filing, please read our article entitled “Filing the Private School Affidavit” (https://fpmca.org/psa)
