Home School
Parents or guardians who decide to home school their children take on the full responsibility of educating their child. This includes choosing age appropriate educational curriculum, course of study, educational exposure trips and any other educational material for their children. There is no state financial assistance for families who choose this option. If a home school student returns to a public school, the district superintendent determines the appropriate grade level for the student.
Requirements for Home School per Ohio Department of Education and Workforce:
Parents should start by notifying the superintendent of the school district where they reside about their intent to home educate their child/or children. Notification must be made within five calendar days after commencing home education, moving into a new school district, or withdrawing from a public or nonpublic school, and by the thirtieth day of August each year thereafter.
Parents agree to:
- Provide instruction in English language arts, mathematics, science, history, government, and social studies, and;
- Notify the superintendent each year
