Homeschool FAQs

Who can take homeschool classes?

Any student who fits the age requirements may enroll in homeschool classes, regardless of whether they are homeschooled or attend a conventional school. The only significant difference between these classes and our standard youth programming is the time of day they are offered.

Can I use charter school vouchers to pay for classes?

Yes! You can use charter school vouchers to enroll your child in any of our youth classes which are listed in the Walnut Creek Arts+Rec Guide, not just the classes with “homeschool” in the title. We are approved vendors for several Charter schools in the Bay Area.  Check your charter’s website to find us on the approved vendors list.

How do I pay with a voucher?

Option 1: If you’re concerned about securing a spot in your chosen class, you can register your child online and pay with your credit card. After the front office receives your voucher, your tuition fee will be refunded.  

Option 2: Or, you can obtain an approved voucher and bring it to the registration desk at the Shadelands Art Center.  Your charter will be charged the class fee directly.  Please be aware that if you use this method you take the risk that the class will fill before you obtain the voucher.   

How and where do I submit the vouchers?

Printed Vouchers:  If your charter uses paper vouchers, you may drop them off in person, mail, email, or fax them to
