Getting Started!

First, you will need to contact your local Board of Education to see if they have a homeschool department.   Most do and will provide the forms you need to fill out to register your child/children.
My local Board of Education provides the forms free of charge once the initial registration has been completed. They e-mail the forms and I print them off and mail them back.  Initially, I had to take the girls to the Board, register them, and pay a small fee.  They will probably require your child’s Birth Certificate, immunization records, and any previous school records. My local School Board also requires you to hold a degree if you’re teaching high school at home.  Usually, only a high school diploma or GED is required for parents to teach children in grades K-8.  Remember each state differs in requirements so be sure you are informed before you begin.
