Hawaii Homeschool High School Guide

Parent-issued diploma recognized. No state homeschool diploma.

Parent-created. No state template.

Hawaii does not have a formal dual enrollment program for homeschool students.

Hawaii does not currently have a law guaranteeing homeschool students access to public school extracurricular activities. Some districts may allow participation on a case-by-case basis.

Hawaii offers 2 different ways to homeschool. High school options like dual enrollment and sports access may vary by pathway.

• •
  Home Instruction : You file a one-time notice of intent with the principal of your local public school, then submit annual evidence of your child's progress. You also maintain a curriculum record (not submitted, but kept on file). Hawaii requires both an initial notification and an end-of-year assessment, making it one of the more hands-on states for oversight.
• •
  Private School or Umbrella Program Enrollment : You enroll in a private school or umbrella program that handles compliance on your behalf. Your child is classified as a private school student, not a homeschooler, so the annual assessment and curriculum plan requirements of the home instruction statute do not apply. Best for families who want less state oversight or prefer institutional support.
