Where Only the Best Make the Team

We don’t hire teachers—we draft them. Our multi-step vetting process is designed to ensure that only the most trustworthy, talented, and reliable educators join our team. Our meticulous draft covers everything from a teacher’s educational background and professional experience to their reliability, communication style, and classroom presence. Each potential draft pick is thoroughly screened before an interview even takes place.

At Courtside Homeschool Academy, diversity matters.

We believe students thrive when they're taught by educators who reflect the richness of the world around them. Our draft picks come from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures, and communities, each bringing unique experiences and perspectives to the court.

Courtside Homeschool Academy is not a legal school of record. We function as a private educational service, providing certified teachers, curriculum support, and recordkeeping to help families remain compliant with their state’s homeschool requirements.

It is the responsibility of each family to:

  • Maintain their own legal homeschool status under state law.

  • File all required documents with their state or local education authority (such as a Notice of Intent, if applicable).

  • Notify Courtside of any residency changes that could affect compliance.

While Courtside provides academic summaries, standardized assessments, and diplomas, these documents are provided as part of our private educational services and do not replace your legal obligation to register as a homeschool with your state of residence if required.

If you are unsure about the homeschool laws in your legal state of residence, we maintain a general overview of requirements by state. This document is available upon request. Courtside does not provide legal advice.
