Q: |
How much time must the student spend on home-schooling? |
A: |
Illinois law does not set any minimum number of hours per day, or days of instruction per year, for students in private schools. However, the Illinois courts have ruled that home-schooling must provide an education that is equivalent with the standards set for public schools. (e.g. Scoma v. Chicago Board of Education, 391 F.Supp. 452 (N.D. Ill. 1974)). |
