North Carolina Department of Non-Public Education
DNPE is the only legislatively authorized NC state government office giving oversight to private elementary/secondary schools in North Carolina. It derives its authority from Chapter 115C, Article 39 of the North Carolina General Statutes. This article sets forth a list of requirements to be met by such schools. DNPE has the legal responsibility to verify that all private elementary/secondary schools are meeting those requirements by periodically inspecting certain school records.
DNPE maintains current statistical data on each private elementary/secondary school including the school?s name, address, telephone number, chief administrator, range of grades or ages taught, number of students enrolled, number of professional staff, type of school, student body composition, etc. This data is published each June as the NC Directory of Non-Public Schools.
DNPE oversees the non-public school student driving eligibility certificate program.
DNPE serves as the state government liaison office between state government, the private elementary/secondary school community and the general public. |
North Carolinians for Home Education
In 1984, NCHE was organized to support and encourage home educators and to protect the right to freely home educate in North Carolina. From a small group of concerned parents, NCHE has grown into an increasingly stronger statewide service organization. NCHE is a representative organization governed by a board of seven officers elected by all NCHE members and 12 regional directors, elected by the NCHE members in each region. NCHE is operated on the basis of Biblical principles and living faith, welcoming members of all races, nationalities, and religions who subscribe to the NCHE ideals. |

This week, Mike Smith talks about five categories of ?life lessons? for you to consider including in your child?s coursework.
