Are you planning on filing an R4 (declares you are the school)? If you do that you are free to school however you please. Here is a link to Homeschool Legal Defense in CA --they offer a lot of support and advice.
Otherwise, you can choose a program that provides curriculum and teacher oversight. K-12 is a national program with local sites even in California. Choices vary depending on where you are in CA.
I am a teacher and have worked for homeschools that allow a lot of freedom in curriculum --this is in SoCal. The State Board of Ed has tightened up considerably, but there is still support available. Calvary Chapel of Chino Hills church in SoCal has resources and recommendations for homeschoolers if you are faith-based.
