These deadlines are for Home Education - Notify Resident District Superintendent. New Hampshire offers 3 pathways, and each may have different deadlines:

• •
  Home Education - Notify Resident District Superintendent(this page): You notify your local school district superintendent within 5 business days of starting, teach required subjects (including science, math, language, history, government, health, and arts appreciation), and complete one annual evaluation of your choice. No specific instructional hours or days are required. This is the most straightforward option and keeps oversight at the local level.
• •
  Home Education - Notify NH Department of Education: You notify the New Hampshire Department of Education within 5 business days of starting instead of your local superintendent. The subject requirements and annual evaluation are identical to the superintendent pathway. Best for families who prefer state-level oversight rather than interacting with their local school district.
• •
  Home Education - Notify Participating Nonpublic School: You enroll with a participating private school that agrees to oversee your home education program, notifying them within 5 business days of starting. The subject requirements and annual evaluation are the same as the other two pathways. Best for families who want the support of a private school and an extra layer of separation from public school district oversight.
