Delaware Homeschooling Laws

Alright, buckle up, future homeschool rebels! Delaware is serving you not one, not two, but three fabulous options for homeschooling. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure, but with fewer dragons and more paperwork. Get ready to strut your stuff through the options, darling! Let’s just be sure we’re complying with Delaware homeschooling laws.

Option 1: Homeschooling as a Single-Family Homeschool

Picture this: You, the glamorous parent or legal guardian, educating your little genius in the comfort of your own home. No teachers, no standardized tests, just pure, unadulterated homeschooling bliss.

  1. Report Enrollment: Channel your inner scholar and submit a statement of pupil enrollment by October 5. Go on, make an account on the Delaware Department of Education website, and sprinkle your educational magic.
  2. Report Attendance: By July 31, spill the tea on your end-of-year attendance. Account for those educational adventures, darling. Create another masterpiece on the Department of Delaware website. Voila!

Option 2: Homeschooling as a Multi-Family Homeschool

Now, this is the ultimate homeschooling fiesta! Get your parent friends together, and let the educational extravaganza begin!

  1. Report Enrollment: October 5 is the date, darling! Gather your homeschool squad and submit that statement of pupil enrollment. Make your mark on the Delaware Department of Education website. Teamwork makes the dream work!
  2. Report Attendance: July 31 is the deadline for your homeschool crew’s grand finale. Your liaison (yes, you need one) will be the hero who reports attendance for all involved families. Cue applause, darling!

Option 3: Homeschooling as a Single-Family Homeschool Coordinated with Local School District

Feeling a bit rebellious, but still want that school district flavor? We’ve got you covered!

  1. Contact the Superintendent: Be the diva you were born to be. Reach out to the superintendent, darling. Get that written determination that your child is getting top-notch education. It’s like getting a golden ticket, but for homeschooling.
  2. Report Enrollment: October 5 is back, baby! Submit your statement of pupil enrollment. Dive into the glam of making an account on the Department of Delaware website. Strike a pose!
  3. Teach the Same Subjects: Walk the educational runway by teaching the same subjects as those public school peeps. You’re basically a trendsetter in the homeschooling world.
  4. Report Attendance: July 31, the grand finale! Report that fabulous attendance. Account for all those moments of brilliance. Make it a showstopper on the Department of Delaware website.

Please note: This info is hotter than a jalapeño, but it’s not personalized legal advice. You’re the star of your homeschooling show, baby! Now go out there and rock those homeschool vibes!
