Check out hsc.org.. it is a great state organization and there are lots of resources. If you are near Sacramento HSC has a wonderful conference coming up in a few weeks. info is on the site. Also, there is a nice yahoo group associated with this group. check out.. The Teenage Liberation Handbook.. very fun book to read. My son is 21.. always homeschooled.. now an EMT.. working towards paramedic/fire daughter is 14 just got back from a trip to New Zealand/Australia with a student program.. they both always homeschooled/unschooled. good luck on your search. michelle Sat, 04 Aug 2007 05:10:38 GMT http://homeschool.tribe.net/thread/8d17db47-2ea4-4d3d-a870-7e6c8eb054de#4306818a-88ca-4b90-85d4-844690db1b0a Michy 2007-08-04T05:10:38Z http://homeschool.tribe.net/thread/8d17db47-2ea4-4d3d-a870-7e6c8eb054de#94f29519-3b9d-4130-a755-5863503f6451 Hi - So happy to find this tribe... I'm looking for alternative schooling for my 12 yr old son. Public school is just not for him and he has little interest in it, which worries me tremendously since he's headed into Jr. High. Has anyone had any experience with Global Village School?http://globalvillageschool.org/index.html I live on the Central Coast in CA and was referred their direction by another program called the Wilderness Center which, sounds really interesting as well. I really know nothing about alternative schooling but know there has to be something out there for my son. Any advice/help is much appreciated! Is there anyone here from Central Cali?
