California Consortium for
Independent Study
We are a state wide organization interested in the advancement
of independent study programs. Independent study is an alternative
mode of public school attendance.
Independent Study
- California Department of Education
It is important to understand that when you join a public school
ISP that you will have to follow far different rules and laws
than do homeschool families. This site is designed for schools
wanting to run an independent study program, but it will help
you understand why others will not consider that you are "really
homeschooling" if you join such a program.
