Frequently Asked Questions
What is homeschooling?
Homeschooling is an educational approach where parents or guardians take primary responsibility for their children's education at home rather than sending them to a traditional public or private school. Families can customize the curriculum, pace, and teaching methods to fit their child's individual learning style and needs.
How do I start homeschooling?
Starting homeschooling involves several key steps: research your state's homeschool laws and notification requirements, choose a curriculum or educational approach that fits your family, set up a dedicated learning space, create a daily schedule, and connect with local homeschool groups for support. Kids on the Yard can guide you through every step of the process.
Do I need to be a certified teacher to homeschool?
In most states, you do not need to be a certified teacher to homeschool your children. Requirements vary by state, but the majority allow parents without teaching credentials to educate their children at home. Some states may require a minimum education level for the teaching parent. Our compliance team can help you understand your state's specific requirements.
How much does homeschooling cost?
Homeschooling costs vary widely depending on curriculum choices, extracurricular activities, and whether you use professional tutoring services. Basic curriculum materials can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per year. Many states offer ESA (Education Savings Accounts) or voucher programs that can help offset costs. Contact us to learn about funding options in your state.
Can homeschooled students go to college?
Absolutely! Homeschooled students are accepted at colleges and universities across the country, including Ivy League schools. Many colleges actively recruit homeschoolers because of their self-motivation and strong academic preparation. Proper transcript preparation and standardized test scores are key components of a successful college application.
What is a homeschool notification or declaration of intent?
A homeschool notification (also called a declaration of intent or letter of intent) is a formal document submitted to your state or local school district informing them of your decision to homeschool. Requirements for this notification vary by state and may include parent information, student details, subjects to be taught, and planned assessment methods.
What happens if I don't comply with my state's homeschool laws?
Non-compliance with state homeschool regulations can result in truancy notices, mandatory enrollment in public school, or in rare cases, legal action. Our compliance support service helps you understand and meet all state reporting requirements, annual assessment deadlines, and documentation standards to keep your homeschool program in good standing.
