Eagles Peak in Murrieta CA is a very good combination of homeschooling with traditional classroom teaching by qualified teachers.
my twins went to this school for 4th and 5th grades. the teachers make assignments for you in most subjects, so you don't have to worry about whether or not you are getting all the subjects in that a regular public school student would get. you progress thru the school year with your student at his/her pace, especially with math and language arts.
the program that i was using was 2 days in class and 3 days homeschool. since it is a charter, there is no tuition or book costs. you have a choice of what books to use in several of the subjects--most notably in math.
there was also a Montessori program that had 2 days at home and 3 days in class.
this is an excellent alternative to traditional classroom schooling for families with irregular schedules, students with learning problems, and families with strong religious convictions. the parent has a lot of control over what is taught and how fast or slow to move through a subject. your student will still participate in statewide testing, and the school still has to conform to California state standards for each grade level, so you don't have to worry about missing out on something.
