Pacific Sands Academy — Education and Training | Scotts Valley, CA

Pacific Sands Academy provides an opportunity for teens and families to pursue an alternative education with a true sense of freedom through Santa Cruz homeschool programs. Teens find and follow their interests through independent studies while studying traditional and nontraditional high school subjects—and pursue various topics of interest, earning credits while doing so. For families, we provide eclectic homeschool or unschooling support, helping them find freedom and joy in their homeschooling journeys. Families have the right in Pacific Sands Academy to pursue these courses of study using any curriculum they deem appropriate that meets their family’s needs. Our mission is to support new homeschoolers in creating joyful educational experiences for their families and provide an alternative, meaningful way to graduate from high school.
