FAQS ABOUT HOMESCHOOL CLASSES AT SCLC
DO YOU PROVIDE TEXTBOOKS?
You are responsible for your Textbooks, although most of the textbooks we choose are available online. Please order them before classes begin and bring them to every class. We have some we can loan if you cannot afford a book. Contact Malika early in the semester because they will be lent out on a first-come, first-served basis.
WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR MY COURSE?
Go to the elementary, middle, or high school course offerings page to learn about scheduling and pricing.
WHAT COURSES DO YOU OFFER THIS YEAR AND WHEN?
Go to the elementary, middle, or high school course offerings page to learn about scheduling and pricing.
WHEN ARE BREAKS AND VACATIONS? WHEN ARE YOU CLOSED?
We combine the academic calendars for Ocean Grove Charter School and Santa Cruz City Schools. Please go to our calendar page for information about specific dates.
HOW DO WE PAY FOR HOMESCHOOL COURSES?
Course fees are due on the 1st of every month. You may pay via credit card, check, PayPal (santacruzlearningcenter@gmail.com), or Venmo (SCLC-831). If your school offers funding assistance, you can request that they make us a purchase order by talking to your education specialist. See information about POs below.
Venmo ID: SCLC-831 Please include the name of the student and the class in the memo.
Paypal ID: santacruzlearningcenter@gmail.com. Please include the name of the student and the class in the memo.
Mail Checks to: 15 Mountain View Court, Santa Cruz, CA 95062. Please include the name of the student and the class in the memo. Checks can be made out to Santa Cruz Learning Center or SCLC.
​
HOW DO PURCHASE ORDERS WORK WITH MY CHARTER SCHOOL?
If you are registered through Ocean Grove, Yosemite Charter, or Heartland Charter, please request a Purchase Order (PO) from your Education Specialist (ES). Your school will send the purchase order information to us directly. YOU must request a purchase order from your school representatives. We are not allowed to request purchase orders from your school. The request must come from you. Pricing for each course is listed on the homeschool course page.
WHERE DO I FIND ASSIGNMENTS AND GRADES?
Make sure that you are signed up with Thinkwave. Parents, students, and education specialists/consultants will each be assigned their unique Thinkwave account. Once you register your students for a class, we will add them to Thinkwave. They will get an email invitation with instructions to finish the sign-up process. This is where teachers post coursework and grades and send important messages to students. We will also send progress reports through Thinkwave so there are no surprises at the end of the semester.
WHY IS THINK WAVE ONLY SHOWING MY OLD CLASSES?
Thinkwave defaults to the Fall semester and does not automatically change to the Spring semester; you must manually adjust it at the drop-down menu near your name. If you took classes at SCLC during the previous school year, you would need to change the school year, which is in a dropdown menu near the top of the screen where it says "Santa Cruz Learning Center."

HELP! I NEED HELP COMPLETING MY ASSIGNMENT! WHERE DO I GET HELP?
If you are having a hard time with a course, please get in touch with the instructor. Instructors can give help during office hours. You can ask to work with a tutor if you want one-on-one support. See tutoring services.
