Yes! Interested families can submit a waitlist form for their students. Once students who submitted an open enrollment form are offered spots, we will begin to offer waitlisted families spots on a first come, first served basis.

Teachers are assigned based on the location of the enrolling students. We try to place families with the closest available Homeschool Teacher (HST). Families are free to request a specific teacher as well. Families can also request an HST with specifications (bilingual, has worked with students with disabilities, has knowledge of a learning/ teaching style, etc.). Although we try our best to accommodate a family’s request, it is not always possible.

The planning amounts families receive are public funds. These planning amounts can be used to cover the costs of curriculum, approved vendor classes and school related items. Technology costs for the student(s) can be covered as well.

If you are a prospective parent and have questions about Special Education, please complete the survey and the Special Education Team will reach out to you shortly.

Your HST will help you with this. You can also reach out to our Family Liaisons Yvonne Kahlen, Family Liaison at (619) 782-6464 x2249 or Maria Ramirez, (Special Programs) Family Liaison at (619) 782-6464 x2314.

Grade level is determined 2 ways. The state enrollment record is verified and the student enrolled in the next level or we will refer to our Grade Level Placement Chart according to birthdate. We can not advance or retain a student upon enrollment.

Students can only be retained if their prior school has recommended it. If you feel that your student will not be able to handle the upcoming school year, you can always bring up your concerns to your HST.

Please read about our Technology options on our website.

Students are not allowed to be dual enrolled into two schools; whether it is another public school or a private school. High school students, however, may sign up to take classes at their local community college. Families may discuss this path with their HST or the counselor.

Your HST will use the Transcript provided during registration to work with you to determine a high school graduation plan for your student.
