    It was not accredited as a private school. I was participating in a home school program administered at a church. I graduated from a home school program, I worked on home school curriculum, it’s a subtle distinction but no just because there’s kids in a building learning does not mean it’s legally a school

    There were several other Christian private schools in my area and they were nothing like my program. They were stricter and more intensive than public school, complete opposite of what I experienced

      Just because it wasn’t accredited as a private school doesn’t mean that isn’t what it functionally was.

      I’m also not surprised that this program was functionally better than public school since there public education system in the South became garbage when segregation became illegal.
