What is a Private School Satellite Program?

We are an "umbrella" school for home educators.

Mantellum Matris Academy (MMA) is a registered private school satellite program in the State of California and is a legal option for those residents under which to homeschool. Families in other states also enroll with MMA as their school-of-record.

 

MMA is your school and I am your principal and counselor.

 

MMA provides:

  • Administrative record-keeping, including report cards and attendance

  • Official transcripts and diplomas, universally accepted as by any other private school

  • Consultation services for homeschooling, course of study planning, high school & college preparation

  • Specialization in helping you create a unique course of study for your unique children & goals

​

Parents enjoy:

  • Anonymity from California authorities, and often your own state's authorities

  • Official records, transcripts, and diplomas issued by a private school

  • Freedom to choose your own curricula and teaching methods

  • Freedom to include all academic activities on your transcripts

  • Freedom from accreditation requirements that constrain courses of study and transcript reporting (read more on accreditation here)

​

In other words, parents receive all of the exact same administrative and consulting services as those offered by schools like Kolbe Academy, Seton Homeschool, Mother of Divine Grace, etc.; except MMA neither dictates nor provides curricula and is not required to adhere to accreditation requirements.
