Welcome to Orange Unified School District Home Schooling

Orange Unified School District's Home Schooling is an alternative instructional strategy, not an alternative curriculum. Students work independently, according to a written agreement and under the general supervision of a credentialed teacher and a parent. While in Home Schooling, students follow district adopted curriculum and meet the district graduation requirements, home schooling offers flexibility to meet individual student needs, interests and styles of learning.

Home School provides a high quality alternative education option for students who need or desire the more personalized and flexible setting of home education. The program builds upon student strengths and assets while identifying and providing support in areas of weakness.

Communication and partnership with parents and students are central elements of the program. Students and parents are actively involved in forming their educational plan and take responsibility, with the guidance of a credentialed teacher, for attaining their educational goals.

The curriculum centers on the California State Content Standards while instruction takes into account individual needs and learning styles. The ultimate goal is to provide each student with a rich and challenging educational program that will prepare him/her for future employment and/or college enrollment.
