Homeschooling is a parent-initiated educational alternative to compulsory school attendance.
If you are a parent or legal guardian, you must accept complete responsibility for the education of your child while they are being homeschooled. The Department is responsible for ensuring that satisfactory progress is made in the education of the homeschooled child and carries out this responsibility by reviewing your child’s annual progress report and monitoring student progress through the required tests at grades three, five, eight and 10.
