Families exploring homeschooling in California quickly learn that there are different ways to educate at home. Two of the most common are:
1. Traditional homeschooling / private family education
2. Homeschooling through a public charter school independent study program
Both options allow students to learn outside a traditional classroom, but each works differently. The good news is that Libereco can support families through either path.

Option 1: Homeschooling at Home as a Private Family Choice
This option gives families the greatest freedom. Parents can choose the learning environment, daily schedule, teaching style, travel calendar, values, and academic priorities.
Many families choose this route because they want:
Personalized education
Flexible pacing
More family time
Bilingual education
Customized subjects
A safer and calmer learning environment
More joy in learning
How Libereco Supports Private Families
Libereco works directly with families as a private school that specializes in highly personalized home-based learning.
Our curriculum is fully bilingual with strong emphasis on Spanish, helping students become truly bilingual while maintaining academic strength in English.
Our Curriculum Designers are native Spanish speakers and are available 24/7 for parent support, questions, troubleshooting, and academic guidance.
Every monthly curriculum is created based on the student’s:
Academic levels and skills
Strengths and areas for growth
Learning style
Interests
Personality
Pace
Family goals
This means the curriculum adapts to the child—not the child adapting to a rigid system.

Hundreds of Elective Courses—and Growing
One of the most exciting parts of Libereco is our huge selection of electives.
We offer hundreds of elective courses, and new courses are constantly being developed as students show interest in emerging topics.
If students become interested in something new—business, robotics, mythology, marine biology, fashion design, archaeology, entrepreneurship, psychology, coding, filmmaking, or almost any topic—our Curriculum Designers can build learning opportunities around it.
That means curiosity does not have to wait until next year. When interest appears, learning can begin now.

Many families in California choose to homeschool through a charter school independent study program.
In this model:

The charter oversees compliance requirements
Parents still guide learning at home
