BayShore School and Educational was created in 1992 to fill the need for a private independent study program (ISP) that would accept California homeschooling families of all faiths, races, ethnicities, lifestyles, and edu-political philosophies.

Through the years BayShore has developed the reputation as an indispensable resource for California homeschooling families by offering consultations, guidance, and resources. In 2002 BayShore director, Lenore Colacíon Hayes authored a book on homeschooling children with special needs and other learning differences.
