Here's link to my Public School attempt. The website is not highest 
priority. The kids are top, the curriculum in software any school can 
use second. Feel free to contact me direct. We are granted to write up 
the curriculum this summer (which you can imagine is the most 
interesting part- tracking both traditionally and organically.)

Recommend book to begin- Self-Design by Brent Cameron.
His plan best I've seen, and I've been doing this for 25 years. (there 
are other models closer to traditional that are weaning school districts 
over but if one could go direct, this would be my choice.)

Connection AERO Alternative Education Resource Organization has a bunch 
of us who are similarly engaged (especially among the School Starters)
