Cedar Life Academy

Cedar Life Academy is a nonsectarian Private School Satellite Program (PSP) that provides California families who wish to home-educate their children with paperwork assistance and homeschool mentoring.

Cedar Life Academy is directed by Karen Taylor, a longtime homeschooler and leader in the homeschooling community. Because of her expertise and interest in California homeschooling, enrollment in Cedar Life Academy is limited to California homeschoolers.

Cedar Life Academy files a private school affidavit and maintains all of the school records that are required by the State of California.

This school does not teach children directly—the parents are the teachers of their own children. The director of the school helps ensure a successful school year by being available to provide support for Cedar Life Academy parents via email or phone whenever needed.

Cedar Life Academy does not require parent meetings or testing. Friendly regular communication is offered so that no one is homeschooling in isolation. For those families who previously had a child enrolled in another school, Cedar Life Academy will request the school records.
