The successful, documented track record of homeschoolers is one reason that college admissions panels have adapted their application process for the home educated. Homeschoolers have been accepted at major universities and colleges including Harvard, Yale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, all of the University of California campuses, and even the U.S. Military Academies. Many agree that developing a personal educational philosophy is a good way to start. That's a parent's complete task, of which schooling the child is just a rather minor part of the whole. Others attend Home Study Programs through public school districts.
Teachers help parents develop a course of study for their children and supply resource materials.
Charter Schools offer Home Study Programs providing curriculum development and teaching assistance. Homeschoolers may also become members of private school Independent Study Programs. These programs vary but generally supply record keeping, guidance, support, and curriculum counseling. A few home educators employ tutors to instruct their children at home. Educational technology provides many options to the classroom at home.
