Other ways to homeschool in Delaware
This page covers Single-Family Home School Program. Delaware offers 3 different ways to homeschool, and each may require different documents:
- •Single-Family Home School Program(this page): A parent educates their own child, mainly at home (14 Del. C. § 2703A). Each year you send the Delaware Department of Education a statement of pupil enrollment by September 30 and end-of-year attendance information by July 31 (14 Del. C. § 2704). State law sets no subject list, no instructional day or hour minimum, and no testing for this type of homeschool.
- •Multi-Family Home School Program: Parents educate children from more than one family, in one or more homes or other facilities (14 Del. C. § 2703A). One person acts as the liaison to the Delaware Department of Education and reports enrollment by September 30 and attendance by July 31 for all the families involved (14 Del. C. § 2704). State law sets no subject list, no instructional day or hour minimum, and no testing for this type of homeschool.
- •Single-Family Homeschool Coordinated with Local School District: You homeschool using a curriculum approved by your local school superintendent or designee, who determines in writing that your child is or will be receiving regular and thorough instruction in the subjects prescribed for the public schools (14 Del. C. § 2703A). You also send the enrollment statement by September 30 and attendance information by July 31 (14 Del. C. § 2704).
