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): You register through the state's EdAccess system between August 11 and September 30, teach core subjects, and report attendance by July 31. No testing, no curriculum approval, and no portfolio reviews are required. This is the most common pathway and the simplest option for a single family.
• •
  Multi-Family Home School Program: You homeschool together with one or more other families under the same legal framework as the single-family program. A designated liaison handles enrollment and attendance reporting to DDOE for all families involved. Best for families who want to share teaching responsibilities while keeping the same simple compliance structure.
• •
  Single-Family Homeschool Coordinated with Local School District: You homeschool using a curriculum approved by your local school superintendent, who determines in writing that your child will receive regular and thorough instruction in the subjects prescribed for public schools. This pathway has been largely discontinued in practice, though it remains on the books. Involves more oversight than the standard single-family pathway.
