I moved from Philadelphia to Texas just to homeschool. There’s tons of homeschool programs , my children go to the ymca for pe only $25 a month. There’s tons of homeschool programs with museums, music programs, sports, it’s really amazing.
The warm weather starts around. Mid-March and the heat and humidity starts in April. You just have to make sure your well hydrated and don’t stay out for to long in the heat. I have gotten use to it, I run when the temperatures are high it doesn’t really bother me. It can take some time to get use to.
I became interested in the Homeschool movement about 15 years ago when I was still teaching in the public school system here in the Northeast. Because I was a therapist and had more flexibility in terms of how and what I taught, I found it easy to utilize resources to the advantage of my students. Science, history, language arts, literature...I had the best fun in my teaching career
I homeschool in Sacramento and I think you are right California is the best place to homeschool. Orange County is expensive to live in, but here in Sacramento we have an awesome homeschool community, lots of families, and it isn't as expensive as the Bay Area or LA. Also, there is a larger black community overall.
My family and I are looking to move soon Sacramento might be the place we're going. It's soooo refreshing to see and read this comment, because homeschooling is where we are grounded to. Just have no idea to start as new parents
I would agree, California is a really great state to homeschool. Central California homeschooler here! Parent Choice, parent led options are great. We are part of a public Charter, home based hybrid. All teaching is parent led, parent choice. All that is required by this method is to submit work every month, with state testing twice a year. All work is accredited and are issued valid HS diplomas upon completion. Our charter is TK-12!
Akeeba, I love your channel. I've learned so much about homeschooling. Which I do, and I have my kids going to a virtual charter school a couple of days a week. I'm trying to get back to fulltime homeschooling. But for now, its works and my children are home with me. Keep bringing educational videos.
I was so fortunate that we started our homeschool journey while we were stationed in CA! We were able to try different curriculum, get all of our school supplies, take so many field trips, and we had a certified teacher that we checked in with. They even brought the standardized tests to us! The charter choice was the best way for us to begin, and even for me to build my confidence on homeschooling in general. We’re a military family, so we’ve moved out of state, and now live out of country. I still have curriculum and resources that are so useful to us five and six years later!
So true. We are in Cali too once I realized what was required we started homeschooling after watching your videos for years. LA County is pretty great too. Thank you!!❤
Fellow Orange County homeschooler!! We had to / the blessing of flexibility to be able to take care of family out of state for a while and boy do we miss the benefits of being home with the community. Coming back this week for a little while. Hopefully our paths cross in person one day soon. All the best and much success! Love your channel.
I live in MD and I remember when you moved out to CA. And I have always wanted to go but was scared if I could homeschool there. Been homeschooling for 6 years and your video has me thinking I should do it just because of all the educational resources. Thanks 😊
You can. We love it and the $3000 we get a year in exchange for 1 meeting a month and work samples it sooooo worth it. My kids do so many activities and we do at least 3 field trips a month.
I can’t wait to start homeschooling my son next year when he turns five I was thinking about starting it earlier but next year would be great we would be in a new city also. I’m nervous but so excited to teach him.
I live in Long Beach, CA I use Sage Oak charter school I have one child on virtual study who doesn't get the funds, and the other on personalized study who does get 3k for the year. This is a great great option for homeschooling. There are other charter homeschool programs like Blue Ridge. Long Beach is apart of L.A County. The cost of living is very high. A 2 bed apartment runs at about 2500 a month. Orange county is which is about 15 minutes from Long Beach, is a beautiful place to raise your children.
I live in Texas and I am going to start homeschooling this year and didn’t know where to start so I sign up to IXL! And got 4 th grade curriculum a set for $25 from Facebook marketing!
In Minnesota, we do not receive funds upfront, but as a state tax deduction. For each child before highschool, we receive $1625 credit per child, and once in highschool, we receive $2500 per child. No reimbursement is allowed for religious materials. We do not have any oversight, either, outside of testing annually. We only submit a letter of intent to homeschool and that's it, unless your child tests in the 30th percentile or lower, then youust notify your local district for additional testing.
i live in minnesota too and i am starting to homeschool my boys. 6 and 8 and i never heard of the credit you speak ok. i have homeschooled my girls whom now are 16 and 22. im just not liking the way things are going. my kindergartener got suspended. that was the draw for me.
@@kattsplosion we can provide you with a course of 1500 USD for a year. Why don't you join a free zoom meeting and have a look at the facilities provided by us?
So do you home school other people's children as well for a fee? Also, do you tutor other children for a fee? I would love for my twins to have a teacher like you.
I was reading the comments below. The one regarding religion caught me. We shouldn't limit the children. Due to state and religion separation issues. Use the funding. Take extra time each (separate from the regular classes to teach your children. You can have prayer prior to and after school. Start the day with religious training. Aftetwards begin the regular school. There is always a way to overcome. My grandchildren are in a private religious school. They're taught Bible and school classes. Each subject is an hour block. Twelve years of one hour bibles classes five days a week; I would say your children would be well-rounded, educated Christians. I know my grandchildren are.
I so agree! I attended public schools growing up. My parents provided religious instruction during the week, we prayed over meals, at bedtime, and we attended Sunday School and church. No one s use religion as an excuse. As taxpayer you have the right to access resources and funding from your local government.
Hi how are beautiful family Do you do any for adults And what can you. Recommend for beginners? please Can you. Send a homework school schedule for kids? Whats yours favorite books spelling to read for kids? Have a blessed day day 🙏🏾 😍
We live in California-I get $2800 per child at our charter (I have three kids). It’s the best! When we were private, we had literally zero regulations. It’s not the worst place to be.
Where is the links to the resources. I am definitely thinking about coming that way for the benefits bc where I just moved too, doesn't have not much! And I want give my children the best experience possible
I just knew you were gonna say Phoenix until you mentioned beaches! 🤭🤭🤭 Im 2 years in out this way and theyve got a pretty good payout for special school services that homeschoolers can use!
I am thinking of possibly homeschooling my son. However, my son is special needs, non verbal, non ambulatory, medically fragile and is totally dependent on someone to help with activities of daily living. I have nursing help but at times when they call out and the agency is unable to find someone, I’m left alone to care for my son. It’s hard for me to lift and carry him because of his weight and height. He has an IEP and requires sped and other related services such as PT, OT, SLP, ABA and vision services. What suggestions or programs do you recommend that can cater or assist me with a child like mine?
Because they don’t count most California homeschoolers because it’s either a charter with “independent study” or a private school. I miss California homeschooling.
You don't have to apply. You just have to find the right homeschool charter in your county and apply for the school. Once accepted you have access to the $$$. They don't give you the money though. My charter pays for things through a purchase order system. If I want a class, field trip, books, or supplies, I just open a PO and they order it for me with delivery to my house. I have total control. It is great.
You can look up Epic Academy, elite academic, excel (very popular), Julian charter, iLead (also popular), sky mountain, and springs. All charter homeschool programs!
Why do you advise people to take money from the state as a homeschooling family? HSLDA and many homeschool proponents clearly advise against accepting any money, because the government never gives you any $ without strings attached, such imposing regulations on homeschooling families, background checks on all household members, home visits, imposing mandatory testing, preventing gun ownership in home, although school shootings happen on school premises etc. We are absolutely refusing to take any money from the state if we homeschool. Please educate yourself first and don't advise people to accept money from the government that can result in outlawing homeschooling altogether.
Hello!!😃 How are you? I will be stationed (military) in San Diego and I homeschool. Please, how do I register as a private school and how do get the fund. Thank you
Do you happen to know of a list I can get that says places I can go with the funds? I know the Zoo and Museums. I'm hoping for a list of things I can buy with the funds including places to go? I really want to take advantage of it and have my kids really enjoy all the possibilities it includes. Thank you for your time.
It’s weird I never felt like I need to be with my race to find my niche m, lived in a Mexican/India county in southern ca for 6 months, had a great time never felt safe. You get what your are looking for in any community.
There’s many reasons why Black people in the United States would want to live near other Black people. One example, since we have been represented in the media as dangerous or hyper sexualized, or unintelligent, people have biases. Those biases leak down to their children. So we wouldn’t want our children to only come in contact with people who have biases against them. We would want them to be able to see other people who have their same skin tone and hair type, see that there’s nothing wrong with those people, and know that what society is telling them is wrong. when our holidays come up, we want to be able to celebrate them. people also may want to live someplace where they can get food and groceries from their culture. for example, I have to drive 45 minutes to buy certain things we need to take care of our hair. as we have been marginalized, we also like to spend money in our own community, to strengthen it, instead of having our money go outside of the community. so it’s not just about getting along with people.
@@purpleglitter9596yes California is the worst state. Newsom is a useless dork with a plastic smile and personality. The government ran California into a trainwreck.
I just knew you were talking about Santa Clara County, close enough. We still in California so I get you. Thank you queen for this informative video. I am on my homeschooling journey again. My oldest is 26 years old now and my little guy is going for be starting first grade within a year…or two 🫣🤭☺️ ima have to follow your other platforms. Have a blessed day.
By state law you have to sign agreeing that you will not teach your child about “religious” content. You can obviously talk about religions as a subject. But you cannot, for example, as a Christian use Christian curriculum. That would be against the law. And since you sign an agreement, should your homeschool be audited you could be fined, not sure about imprisonment. 🤷🏽♀️
@@AkeebaMaze Christian private schools and public school charter schools are 2 different things. Private schools can use whatever they please. It is illegal to use public funds, aka stipends to teach religious curriculum through a charter school. Yes, you sign upon signing your children up.
@@AkeebaMaze I have heard conflicting reports about what the California Constitution says about Christian training within the charter schools. Article IX, Section 8, of the California Constitution addresses religious instruction within public schools. The wording is straightforward and is available at any public library. A review of this section may be helpful: "No public money shall ever be appropriated for the support of any sectarian or denominational school..." Government funding cannot be used to support a religious school. "...or any school not under the exclusive control of the officers of the public schools..." A charter school may delegate responsibility (1) for children's education to the parents, but it cannot by law relinquish final authority (2) because the California Constitution requires its officers to have "exclusive control (3)." In contrast, private home educators retain both responsibility and authority over every aspect of their children's education. As stated above, this is a fundamental difference between private home schoolers and charter school or public school ISP members. "...nor shall any sectarian or denominational doctrine be taught..." Whether the parents are considered teachers, aides, volunteers, or some other title, the public school cannot allow them to teach religious doctrine within the program. "...or instruction thereon be permitted..." This is a critical phrase. A school administrator or staff member cannot permit a volunteer or even a student to take over the class for even five minutes to teach Bible-based doctrine. Not only is it illegal for a public school teacher to teach religious doctrine, but it is also illegal for a public school administrator to permit religious instruction to be received by a pupil during the time he is in the school or program. "...directly or indirectly..." This should clear up any possible misunderstanding of the previous wording by those who would allow a teacher to indirectly permit religious training. "...in any of the common schools of the state." Current law [EC 47612(b)] makes it crystal clear that Article IX, Section 8 of the California Constitution includes charter schools. The legal term "common schools" as used in the California Constitution is synonymous with the term "public schools" as used in the California Education Code. AB 544 (passed into law in 1998) clarifies this further for laymen who have questions about this issue. It adds EC 47615(a)(1)&(2), which state "Charter schools are part of the Public School System, as defined in Article IX of the California Constitution. Charter schools are under the jurisdiction of the Public School system and the exclusive control of the officers of the public schools, as provided in this part."
Not teaching your kid about main religions is how you teach bigotry. Just as bad, when they are gaslight over religion they will have no words to debate because they are not educated or confident on the subject.
@@calisingh7978 We opt for a a PSA because I will teach my children our faith and the Bible commands us to teach our children about Him day and night. There was no way for me to clock out of educating them from a faith based perspective. Our “religion” isn’t a mere subject. It’s our life. I don’t care how much money CA offers me I’m not taking the bait. We were about to sign up about 7 ish years ago because our Christian friend was a teacher working for one of the charters and then she mentioned how if i had any mention of God on a piece of work I would have to cut out that section … if I wanted to submit it as a sample for whatever subject she needed that month. I said nope. I’m out. There’s lots of Christian teachers working for charter schools that’ll tell parents, “it’s cool, don’t worry, I got you.” Little do the parents realize, should their homeschool be audited, they will have to answer for themselves.
I moved from Philadelphia to Texas just to homeschool. There’s tons of homeschool programs , my children go to the ymca for pe only $25 a month. There’s tons of homeschool programs with museums, music programs, sports, it’s really amazing.

I was going to ask the same thing. Where in Texas do you recommend we go?
How hot is it down there? I feel like they can’t play outside bc of the heat😑

@@purpleglitter9596yes California is the worst state. Newsom is a useless dork with a plastic smile and personality. The government ran California into a trainwreck.
I just knew you were talking about Santa Clara County, close enough. We still in California so I get you. Thank you queen for this informative video. I am on my homeschooling journey again. My oldest is 26 years old now and my little guy is going for be starting first grade within a year…or two 🫣🤭☺️ ima have to follow your other platforms. Have a blessed day.
I'm in Az does anyone know of any grants?
Az offers grants 🙏🏼 I just looked online and there are a few
By state law you have to sign agreeing that you will not teach your child about “religious” content. You can obviously talk about religions as a subject. But you cannot, for example, as a Christian use Christian curriculum. That would be against the law. And since you sign an agreement, should your homeschool be audited you could be fined, not sure about imprisonment. 🤷🏽♀️
No, I didn't sign anything. And you can definitely use Christian Curriculum, as the thousands of christian private schools do.
@@AkeebaMaze Christian private schools and public school charter schools are 2 different things. Private schools can use whatever they please. It is illegal to use public funds, aka stipends to teach religious curriculum through a charter school. Yes, you sign upon signing your children up.
@@AkeebaMaze I have heard conflicting reports about what the California Constitution says about Christian training within the charter schools.
Article IX, Section 8, of the California Constitution addresses religious instruction within public schools. The wording is straightforward and is available at any public library. A review of this section may be helpful:
"No public money shall ever be appropriated for the support of any sectarian or denominational school..." Government funding cannot be used to support a religious school.
"...or any school not under the exclusive control of the officers of the public schools..." A charter school may delegate responsibility (1) for children's education to the parents, but it cannot by law relinquish final authority (2) because the California Constitution requires its officers to have "exclusive control (3)." In contrast, private home educators retain both responsibility and authority over every aspect of their children's education. As stated above, this is a fundamental difference between private home schoolers and charter school or public school ISP members.
"...nor shall any sectarian or denominational doctrine be taught..." Whether the parents are considered teachers, aides, volunteers, or some other title, the public school cannot allow them to teach religious doctrine within the program.
"...or instruction thereon be permitted..." This is a critical phrase. A school administrator or staff member cannot permit a volunteer or even a student to take over the class for even five minutes to teach Bible-based doctrine. Not only is it illegal for a public school teacher to teach religious doctrine, but it is also illegal for a public school administrator to permit religious instruction to be received by a pupil during the time he is in the school or program.
"...directly or indirectly..." This should clear up any possible misunderstanding of the previous wording by those who would allow a teacher to indirectly permit religious training.
"...in any of the common schools of the state." Current law [EC 47612(b)] makes it crystal clear that Article IX, Section 8 of the California Constitution includes charter schools. The legal term "common schools" as used in the California Constitution is synonymous with the term "public schools" as used in the California Education Code. AB 544 (passed into law in 1998) clarifies this further for laymen who have questions about this issue. It adds EC 47615(a)(1)&(2), which state "Charter schools are part of the Public School System, as defined in Article IX of the California Constitution. Charter schools are under the jurisdiction of the Public School system and the exclusive control of the officers of the public schools, as provided in this part."
Not teaching your kid about main religions is how you teach bigotry. Just as bad, when they are gaslight over religion they will have no words to debate because they are not educated or confident on the subject.
@@calisingh7978 We opt for a a PSA because I will teach my children our faith and the Bible commands us to teach our children about Him day and night. There was no way for me to clock out of educating them from a faith based perspective. Our “religion” isn’t a mere subject. It’s our life.
I don’t care how much money CA offers me I’m not taking the bait. We were about to sign up about 7 ish years ago because our Christian friend was a teacher working for one of the charters and then she mentioned how if i had any mention of God on a piece of work I would have to cut out that section … if I wanted to submit it as a sample for whatever subject she needed that month.
I said nope. I’m out.
There’s lots of Christian teachers working for charter schools that’ll tell parents, “it’s cool, don’t worry, I got you.” Little do the parents realize, should their homeschool be audited, they will have to answer for themselves.
Is there any info for New York City
How did you register as a private homeschool
But what if there was only one child who is attending to be homeschooled, how much would that cost?
I have 1 kid homeschooled and it doesn't cost anything. I do get $3000 annually to support my homeschooling needs.
Where do you apply to get that?
