What We Are

• HSC is a learning center, not a school.

• We serve as a hub where independent instructors connect with homeschool families.

• Our role is to advertise classes, provide facilities and online tools, and manage enrollment so instructors can focus on teaching.

Classes & Instructors

• Instructors offer a wide range of in-person and live-online classes for grades TK–12.

• Families can choose from enrichment courses, electives, or core academic subjects.

• For core classes, instructors post homework and resources using Google Classroom or a similar platform.

Enrollment & Payment

• Browse our class schedule and select the courses that fit your student’s needs.

• Families may pay instructors using charter school funds or private funds (for non-charter families).

Parent Portal

• Parents have access to a secure online portal to view their student’s current list of enrolled classes at any time.

Support for Student Success

• Our unique program is designed to help your student succeed through guidance, support, and accountability.

• Parents always have direct access to each instructor for questions or support, and instructors provide feedback as needed to help students stay on track.

Classes are open to homeschool students in grades TK–12. Families may choose a mix of enrichment, elective, and core academic courses that best fit their student’s needs.

HSC does not maintain student records. Parents are responsible for keeping official transcripts and deciding how to file with their state, which determines who holds the records. See our Filing Options page for details.

After deciding to homeschool, it’s important to understand how to notify your state about your child’s educational status. There are three common options:

• Charter Schools

• Private School Satellite Program (PSP)

• Private School Affidavit (PSA)

For more details and guidance, see our Filing Options page.

The Homeschool Legal Defense Association (“HSLDA”) is a great resource for homeschooling families. HSLDA passionately advocates for the freedom to homeschool and offers support for every stage of your homeschool journey. With 80,000 member families, Home School Legal Defense Association is the nation’s largest, most trusted homeschool advocacy organization. They’re here to advance and protect our freedom to homeschool. HSLDA’S: “Homeschooling by State Laws“

Parents know their student best. We encourage families to read class descriptions carefully and reach out to instructors directly with any questions they might have.

The grade chart on our Homepage (scroll down) shows suggested core courses by grade level, and are flexible for individual needs and learning styles. Students don’t have to strictly follow these tracks, but in doing so, helps to minimize scheduling conflicts. In addition, there is a vast variety of engaging electives to choose from once on the schedule page.

Classes often serve a range of grade levels (e.g., 4–6th).

Contact the instructor (via “Class Details” from the Class Schedule page) if your student is above or below the posted grade range, and if you have questions regarding to student readiness.

For core academic classes, instructors typically assign homework and post it on Google Classroom or a similar platform inside the HSC Student Portal. Enrichment classes may or may not include outside work. Weekly assignments guide student work, and students can contact instructors throughout the week for inquiries.

Parents or caretakers are responsible for ensuring students complete assignments between classes. Younger students may need more hands-on support, but with dedication, both students and parents will see the rewards. Our ultimate goal? Helping your child become an independent learner.
