Six steps to register your homeschool.<\/p>\n\t
Attendance is compulsory (Florida Statutes<\/a>) for all children between the ages of six and sixteen. A child that turns six before February 1 of that term is required to attend school for the entirety of the term.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Florida has no set day or hour requirements for home instruction. However, if you are homeschooling under an umbrella program or with a private tutor you may be required to adhere to the typical 180-day school year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t There are three options<\/strong>:<\/p>\n No. A Florida teaching license is not <\/em>required for parents UNLESS they are establishing a private tutoring program.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t No. Parents have the freedom to choose their child’s curriculum.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t No, except for option 1. There is a required annual evaluation of the homeschooled child’s progress, and you get to choose which method best assesses your child’s growth. You can see those options here: (Florida Homeschool Annual Evaluation<\/a>)<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t No.<\/p>\n\t Have you decided that homeschool is not the best option for your family in this season of life? That’s ok! Educational freedom is about pursuing what will best serve your child and your family NOW.<\/p>\n To discontinue your homeschool program you will need to file a\u00a0notice of termination<\/strong>\u00a0with your local school district.<\/p>\n\t <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Florida Conference Office of Education (FLCOE) is dedicated to the parent-led, Christian education of children in all its forms.
