Because of the  Amended Charter School Act Provision, homeschooled, charter and Governor School students may participate in extracurricular activities in their school district.

Not every student will want to take advantage of this program, but we are grateful that homeschooled students now have this opportunity. Many CBCCA students participated last year and had a great experience. We hope that our homeschooled students will be both a blessing and an asset to the local schools’ athletic programs.
