Charters (9 listed)
Public school · Free to families · Run by a charter school
A credentialed supervising teacher and often a curriculum-funds allotment; materials stay secular. Each charter sets its own enrollment window.
-
Satellite programs (3 listed)
Private school · Tuition paid to the program · Faith-based or secular
The program files the private school affidavit for you and sets its own fees and curriculum rules.
-
District independent study (14 listed)
Public school program · Free to families · Run by your local school district
Like charter independent study, but offered by the district where you live. Usually limited to families inside that district.
-
Enrichment (69 listed)
Not a legal pathway · Paid by families · Added on top of any pathway
Classes, co-ops, sports and art around whichever pathway you choose. Some accept charter funds; others are paid out of pocket.
Why is enrichment its own category?
Charters and district independent study only ask for a limited slice of your week, often just a handful of hours of scheduled time with a teacher, not a full school day. That leaves most of the week open, and most South Bay families fill it with outside classes, co-ops, sports, and other activities. Those enrichment options aren't part of any legal pathway, they're something families choose and pay for on their own, from all kinds of different providers around the South Bay. This directory lists what's actually out there so you don't have to piece it together from spreadsheets and Facebook groups.
