Charter schools which cater to homeschoolers can vary widely on what they provide to families and what they require from families.
Some schools are entirely online giving the family a computer and all of the curriculum for free (after all it is our tax dollars paying for the school). Students are required to do a good amount of learning on the computer with almost daily monitoring. Some have community days where students can take classes and get to know other kids (i.e. CAVA - California Virtual Academy, Kaplan).
Other charter schools offer a good amount of flexibility in curriculum choice for parents and even provide funds for classes and/or lessons.
Although students are mostly learning at home, you are still considered part of the public school system and must follow requirements for standardized testing and reporting. An EA (Educational Assistant) /ES (Educational Specialist) is assigned to families and provides guidance.
