If you need a support group other than BRANCHES,
or if you desire information on different schools,
contact CHEA  of California, at (562)-864-2432.

· Most of the schools require HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) membership; If the ISP you choose does not offer a group discount, you still qualify for the HSLDA discount if you are a CHEA member.
· YOU ARE URGED TO JOIN HSLDA!  If you were to be hauled into court, an adverse ruling would affect all of us, and the authorities are much more likely to pursue court action with a family NOT associated with HSLDA.  BRANCHES has application forms for you.
· "Fees" are divided into Tuition, Registration, and Other Fees.  The notes mean:  /f=fee per family; /s=fee per student; /one-time=application fee; (HS)=High School.
· These do not usually include fees for  excursions, testing, etc., except as noted.
· Each program has unique people, events and facilities; price alone may not be your best indicator. Some schools have discounts for multiple children or early registration; call for details if you have further questions on cost.
· "Meetings" refer to face-to-face contacts; each school has different requirements about staying in touch throughout the school year.
· Testing is mandatory in some programs, optional in others.  Expect additional fee.
· Prices are subject to change without notice.
