Homeschooling FAQ's

The number one question people always ask: "What are the laws regarding home school?"

Get Educated!
Stay Informed!
Get Involved! 


Every state has a website about their legislature; take the time to find yours and check it over. The most important thing to realize is that homeschooling is legal in every state of this nation. But each state has its own set of rules regarding homeschooling,so it is essential that you check out yours in order to have a clear understanding of them,you can find this out most of the times by asking other homeschoolers,contacting your state homechooling support group,and by going on-line to do research.

Homeschooling laws differ from sate to state in seven main areas:
  • Testing
  • Equivalency
  • Records
  • Registration
  • Notification of intent to homeschool
Remember only you as a parent know whats best for your child. No one else can make this decision for you. Homeschooling is not for everyone,so talk it over with your spouse and children. The ultimate goal is to provide the best education for your child in the best environment for learning! 

It took me three years to come up with a final decision,not that this would be your outcome,but I didn't have the confidence in myself to do so. Now that this is their 2nd year,I hate the fact that I didn't do it sooner!
