Getting Started

Home education programs in Pennsylvania are guided by state requirements. To begin a program, families must submit an affidavit and supporting documentation to the District each school year.

To get started, you will need to:

• Submit a notarized affidavit to the District.
• Provide required medical and immunization records.
• Outline your planned educational objectives.

Home education affidavits must be submitted in advance of commencing with a Home Education program and thereafter on or before August 1.

Annual Requirements

Throughout the school year, families are responsible for maintaining documentation of their student’s learning.
This includes:

• A portfolio of student work.
• A log of educational activities.
• Standardized tests are required for home-schooled students in grades 3, 5, and 8.
• An annual written evaluation completed by a qualified evaluator. Program evaluations are due each year by June 30. 

These requirements help ensure students are making appropriate educational progress while allowing flexibility in how learning happens.
