Homeschool Co-op
Welcome to Shining Stars Homeschool Co-op!
At Shining Stars Homeschool Co-op, we believe in the power of community and the joy of learning together. Our group meets weekly on Wednesdays from 10 AM to 12 Noon at the Fairfield SDA Church, where families come together to explore new ideas, share knowledge, and create lasting friendships. With a focus on collaboration and creativity, our co-op provides a supportive environment for students of all ages to thrive in their educational journeys.
In addition to our weekly meetings, we organize exciting monthly field trips that allow our students to experience learning beyond the classroom. Whether it’s visiting a local museum, exploring nature, or engaging in hands-on workshops, our outings are designed to enrich the homeschool experience and spark curiosity in young minds.

Resources for New Homeschooling Families
California-Based Charter Homeschools: If you’re considering charter schools, California offers a variety of charter homeschool programs that provide resources, curriculum options, and funding for educational materials. These programs can give your family added support while maintaining the flexibility of homeschooling.
Private School Affidavit: California families can choose to file a Private School Affidavit (PSA) to establish a private school at home. This allows parents to create their own curriculum while meeting state educational requirements. We can guide you through the process of filing a PSA and help you understand your responsibilities as a private school.
Community College Dual Enrollment: High schoolers can benefit from dual enrollment opportunities at local community colleges, allowing them to earn college credits while still in high school. This can provide valuable experience and ease the transition to higher education.
Additional Resources: We encourage families to explore various online platforms, local support groups, and homeschooling networks. Websites like California Homeschool Network and HSLDA offer a wealth of information about legal requirements, curriculum choices, and community events.
Welcome to our vibrant community! We’re excited to embark on this educational journey together. If you have any questions or need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out!
