The reasons for homeschooling are as diverse as the families who choose this option. The ultimate goal, however, is the same – to provide an outstanding education that meets the needs of each individual child. Saugus Union School District shares this goal. A little known fact is that Saugus Union School District has been supporting the homeschooling community in the Santa Clarita Valley for over twenty-five years.
SUSD is an award-winning district with not only top-notch public schools, but an Independent Home Study Program and Center that serves families who wish to homeschool their children, recognizing that the public school setting may not always meet the needs of the individual. This alternative option is provided at no cost to families with students from transitional kindergarten to sixth grade. Families receive the services of a highly qualified credentialed teacher who provides training and weekly support as well as current state-adopted curriculum and enriching supplemental resources and technology. The flexibility and independence offered in such a program empowers parents to individualize an educational program that best meets the learning styles, aptitudes, and interests of their children. Children benefit from direct family involvement and individual attention. This active participation helps students excel. Another benefit of homeschooling is that it allows students to pursue outside interests such as professional sports or performing arts careers while still receiving an uninterrupted, exemplary education. The dedicated parents who choose homeschooling are committed to providing the best education for their children. The Saugus Union School District Independent Home Study Program is committed to providing an enriching and supportive program that is just what homeschooling families need to be successful!
