Homeschooling Choices in Florida
Florida statutes provide three options for families who wish to educate their children at home. Each will meet the state’s compulsory attendance laws. Families may:
- Enroll in a non-campus-based private school, that is, a private school that facilitates home education, and follow the procedures set by the school. Atrium School fits into this category.
- Establish a home education program as defined in the statutes by sending a Notice of Intent to the local school superintendent, maintaining a log of activities and samples of work, and filing an annual evaluation using one of five evaluation choices (ss. 1002.41)
- Establish a private tutoring program (ss. 1002.43).
Any of the above choices will provide compliance with Florida’s compulsory attendance laws.
