What stands out
- This is well outside the South Bay (Exposition Park, near USC), not a drop-in weekly program; it's a handful of single-day dates per year that need registering for in advance. (source)
- No statement found on whether charter instructional funds can be used toward registration; the site's own FAQ and registration pages don't mention charter/purchase-order payment. (source)
Questions to ask
- Can our charter's instructional funds pay for Homeschool Days registration, or is this out-of-pocket only?
- What's the next announced date and topic after the two currently listed, and when does registration open for it?
- With sessions capped and paid in advance, what's the cancellation/refund policy if our family can't make the date?
