Private Schools

California law (California Education Code Section 33190) requires private schools offering or conducting a full-time elementary or secondary level day school for students between the ages of 6 and 18 to file an affidavit with the California Department of Education (CDE). Filing an affidavit with CDE does not constitute certification of status as a private school. The Private School Directory information, below, lists only private schools reporting enrollments of six or more students on their Private School Affidavits.

Inclusion of a school in this directory should not be interpreted as meaning that the State of California, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI), the State Board of Education, CDE, or any other agency has made any evaluation, approval, or endorsement of any school listed.

The Private School Directory lists private schools that filed the annual Private School Affidavit and reported enrollments of six or more students.

Although full-time schools of any size file the PSA, annual California budget language in AB 1464 (Chapter 21, Statutes 2012, Item 6110-001-0001, Provision 1) limits the CDE’s compiling and sorting of data to schools with six or more students.
