PA How to get started

1. Is homeschooling legal?

Yes.

2. Who may homeschool?

The parent/guardian is primarily responsible for homeschooling the child, a private tutor with the required qualifications, and two other options as a satellite. More information can be found here. For the purpose of the information that follows we will be talking about option 1. The parent is fully responsible for the education of the child. To teach your children you have to have a high school diploma or its equivalency.

3. Should I provide more information than is requested?

It is not recommended to provide the school with any more information other than required by law. Remember, you are notifying the district; not asking for permission.
