Alaska. There are 3 accredited homeschool programs here and all have waiting lists of over 1000 kids. Our oldest won a lottery to get into hers. It's a confusing process, and I am sure my ignorance in fully understanding it has created some headaches for myself. I am hoping as regular school opens back up, lots of families will drop out of homeschooling and spots will open up.
Why do you need an "accredited" homeschool program for a 1st grader? Is that a requirement under state law? Really shouldn't need it at any level, but for a high schooler it might be reasonable for a parent to feel that accreditation might help with college admissions. If the state is requiring this, you might want to get involved with a homeschooling group that's lobbying state legislators to dump the requirement.
What country/state has a "waiting list" for homeschooling? I don't even understand what that means.
