Home schooling, which can actually take place at home or in an alternative setting, was once seen as a sideline solution for child actors, but it is becoming an increasingly more popular choice. Those who opt for homeschool often site a frustration with both the public and private school systems. There are several ways to set up your child’s homeschool environment and make it work legally, but the central concept is that you, as the parent, control your child’s education and learning. That said, if your child will be applying to university in the future, there are standards his or her education must meet. If this interests you, find out more by contacting the Homeschool Association of California (www.hsc.org) or the California Homeschool Network (www.californiahomeschool.net).
