El Dorado County Homeschool Support Group & Private ISP or PSP Directory

El Dorado County Homeschool Support Groups

The most important thing for homeschool success is to surround yourself with like-minded people who share information and resources, answer your questions, and ease your concerns. Your local Homeschool Support Group is where you can get connected with other homeschooling families. To find a Homeschool Support Group near you, simply click on the county where you reside from the list below.

IMPORTANT:  Both Homeschool Support Groups as well as Private Independent Study Programs (ISPs), which are now being called Private School Satellite Programs (PSPs) to differentiate them from public school programs, are listed in this California Support Group Directory.

What's the difference? In general, Homeschool Support Groups are gatherings of homeschool families who get together for park days and may also organize some field trips and co-op classes. (Some of these groups require a small membership fee, most do not.) Private ISPs or PSPs are small private schools. Homeschool families may enroll (paying a tuition fee) to receive administrative support and attend support meetings, park days, and events. To help you distinguish Homeschool Support Groups from Private ISPs or PSSPs, the letters (ISP) or (PSP) have been designated in ITALIC BLACK BOLD CAPS next to the name of the group.
