These deadlines are for Home Study Program. Vermont offers 2 pathways, and each may have different deadlines:

• •
  Home Study Program(this page): You file an enrollment notice with the Vermont Agency of Education at least 10 business days before starting, including your child's information and an attestation that you will conduct annual assessments. You must assess your child annually — via standardized test, certified teacher evaluation, portfolio, online academy grades, or GED — but results are retained by the family, not submitted to the state.
• •
  Enrollment in an Approved Independent (Private) School: You enroll in an approved independent (private) school, which satisfies compulsory attendance without the home study enrollment notice or annual assessment submission to the state. Some independent schools support home-based learning models. Best for families who want an institutional framework or prefer to avoid direct state reporting.
