Check out the local community colleges and voctaional/technical schools.
Many of these have fine programs in basic electronics.  Stick with
accredited schools only, as you will be a bit more certain of the quality
of instruction, and the credits will be transferable later on to a four-year
college, should you choose to go that route.

I have no personal experience with home-study, but as a community college
instructor, I think that the students learn faster when there's an
instructor around to provide "instant" feedback, and to direct the course
of study for the student.  This is particularly true with the "hands-on"
(lab) experience.  Of course, I may be a little biaesed....:-)
