Parents or guardians may teach only their own children in the home study program provided the teaching parent or guardian possesses at least a high school diploma or a general educational development equivalency diploma.  The parents or guardians may employ a tutor who holds at least a BA degree to teach such children.
Parents or guardians must annually submit to the superintendent of their local school district a Declaration of Intent to Utilize a Home Study Program by September 1 or within 30 days after the program is established.  This form must be completed and returned to the superintendent’s office.

• Declaration of Intent

The Home Study course must include instruction in the following: 

• Reading
• Language arts
• Mathematics
• Social Studies
• Science

The school year must include the equivalent of 180 days of at least four and one-half hours of instruction per day unless the child is physically unable to comply with this requirement.
Students in home study programs shall be subject to an appropriate nationally standardized testing program administered in consultation with a person trained in the administration and interpretation of norm-referenced tests.  The student must be evaluated at least every three years beginning at the end of the third grade.  Records of such tests shall be retained.  The instructor shall write an annual progress assessment report in each required subject area for each student.  These reports shall be retained for three years.
