Most of these charter schools can provide some or,
in a few cases, all of the GBA materials to students
enrolled through them without cost to the students,
sometimes including the enrollment fee for the online
Great Books discussion groups, at State expense. Available
funding varies state to state. Typically, students
enroll with the charter school and follow some basic
reporting rules (and sometimes some testing at the
school) and do their schooling at home (sometimes
called "independent study" or even "homeschooling").
In some cases the students are carried on the charter
schools student roles as regular students, but simply
study at home. Call or email GBA or the charter schools
nearest you for more information.
Each of these charter schools (below) added the GBA
curriculum at the request of interested parents or
students. Many more would do so if requested by interested
parents or students. However, not all charter schools
cooperate with "independent study" or homeschoolers
students, so one has to inquire and find those that
are willing to do so. Some charter schools are supportive
of homeschooling on philosophical grounds; other cooperate
reluctantly. Most are willing to consider the idea,
as it usually results in more revenue for their school
from the states, which pay additional administrative
fees to the charter schools, based on enrollment numbers.
We do not extend credit to charter schools, but most
can pay with the order if asked to do so. You may
suggest interested charter schools contact us at GBAinformation@aol.com
or by calling 800-521-4004. Some Canadian Provinces
also reimburse for homeschooling supplies.
