If you are interested in home schooling your student with the support of Saddleback Christian Academy in the 2008-2009 school year, please proceed with the following steps:

1) Send an e-mail to info@scaathome.com and include each interested student’s name, grade in fall 2008, if you are a current member of HSLDA, brief information of your current school situation, and your contact information. We will then prepare an application packet for you.

2) If you have any further questions feel free to include these in your e-mail and someone will contact you.

3) Attend our monthly faculty meeting on Monday night May 5, 2008, which will give you a better idea of what Saddleback Christian Academy is all about. This meeting is mandatory for any new families. At the end of this meeting, newly interested families will be gathered for a time of questions and answers. You will also be given an application at this time. The meeting will be held at Crossroads Community Church in Mission Viejo from 6:45 p.m.-8:30 p.m., on May 5, 2008. Both parents are encouraged to attend, but please keep in mind that this is an adult only meeting. (Nursing babies are welcome.) You must attend this meeting in order to pick up your application.

4) All applications must be returned by Monday night, June 2, 2008 at our June faculty meeting. June 2, 2008 is our registration deadline for new families for the 2008-2009 school year. As noted in your application packet, a registration fee will be required at that time.

5) After your application is reviewed, you will be contacted to schedule a time for a family interview with our board of directors. This is a relaxed environment and we would like you to bring all children who live in your home, regardless of whether you are planning to home school them in the fall. This interview is another chance for you to get to know us better, to ask questions, and to share your story with us.

6) You should be contacted shortly after your interview.

7) We welcome all families who wish to take responsibility for their children’s education, and who desire to contribute their gifts and time to help make Saddleback Christian Academy a place of support for our likeminded Christian families. We look forward to meeting you!

8) There will be an orientation for our new families in early August. Our classes will begin in September. Our first monthly faculty meeting will most likely be on September 8, 2008 at 6:45 p.m.

See you soon!!
