About Grace Homeschool PSP

Grace Homeshool’s PSP is called Grace Christian School of Temecula Valley. This PSP was created to fill the need for a private K-12 private satellite program (PSP) that would serve homeschooling families. Our philosophy is to empower parents who desire to teach their children to live by Biblical principles, pursue excellence in academics, develop character with Christ as the example, practice responsible life skills and stewardship, and exhibit good role model behavior. We do not require, nor do we provide, a specific curriculum. Rather, our role is to assist families in their quest to meet the individual needs of each child, while staying within the parameters set forth by the California Education Code. Please note that Grace Christian School is NOT an on-campus physical place to attend school.

What is a Private School Satellite Program?

A Private School Satellite Program (PSP) is an organized group of home-educating families who file one affidavit (a state of California private school certificate) on behalf of all its members. Each member of the PSP is considered a private school student, and the parent becomes their homeschool teacher. Private school satellite programs operate under the provision of the California Education Code Section 48222. Grace Christian School of Temecula Valley PSP assists parents with their children’s educational program. Each family is in control of their children’s educational program by selecting their own methods, materials and curriculum.

-Enrolling families need to turn in three (3) required forms: Statement of Faith* and Financial Agreement, as well as the PSP Handbook, signing that that they agree to the policies therein. *Because Grace Homeschool is a Christian program, we ask that families who desire to enroll their children in our PSP are Christian families. Each family must turn in a Statement of Faith, not only signing agreement to our Statement of Faith, but also each family’s Statement of Faith must be filled out completely to include the name of church fellowship attending, name of leadership reference with their signature and contact information.

-After enrollment completed, families will be given passwords to obtain Grace Christian School documentation records to fill out for each K-8 and High School student. The beginning of the school year paperwork includes attendance record, course of study for grade level, course documentation, etc.; and report cards for the end of each semester. Due dates for paperwork will be given by PSP Administrator.

-Enrolled families are also required to sign up for homeschooling legal defense with membership in HSLDA (Homeschool Legal Defense Association) which is $130 per year (go to this link HSLDA Membership).
