Welcome!
Cold River Academy wishes to welcome you to our home on the
web.  We hope that you will find useful information here, not only
about our homeschooling program, but also about
homeschooling in general. It is our goal to make your
homeschooling journey as easy as possible, whether you are just
starting out or looking for a change.  We encourage you to
contact us with any questions you may have.
Happy Homeschooling!
Cold River Academy is a California private school specializing in
meeting the needs of homeschoolers in California and other states and
countries as needed and applicable.  At Cold River Academy, your
freedom to educate your children your way is valued above all else.  

We welcome homeschooling families of all faiths and systems of belief,
of any race, income, and family composition.  Support is offered for all
homeschooling methods and styles, from "school at home" to
"unschooling" and everything in between.

Families can enroll at any time of year, enjoy the freedom to control their
own school schedule with minimal guidelines, and have total control over
the selection of curriculum, materials, and course content.  

While testing is available as needed or requested, all of our students are
exempt from California standardized testing requirements, including the
S.T.A.R. Test and the California High School Exit Exam.

Participation in school-sponsored events is always optional, and
enrollment in a homeschool legal defense program is not required.  
There are no intrusive home visits, and no required parent-teacher
conferences or parent education meetings to attend.  All required
aspects of our program can be completed by mail or online for your
convenience. Referrals to support groups and other resources in your
area are available at any time.

Cold River Academy's low cost homeschooling program offers you the
freedom to start homeschooling whenever you are ready, use the
method and style that is right for each child, and schedule your schooling
to meet your family's needs, while providing comprehensive
record-keeping services, contact with school and government officials
as needed (including transfer of student records, providing confirmation
of enrollment and attendance to attendance officers, social workers, and
social workers), plus encouragement and support from real,
experienced homeschoolers who really believe in the value of home
education and the importance of family.
