If you don't have a teaching credential or religious exemption, you do have to accept some oversight.

But if you have a Bachelor's degree, that oversight is minimal... you must meet some reporting requirements and that's all.

You can set your own curriculum. Although you have to include certain subjects, you don't have to specificaly meet the SOL.

You notify the Superintendant of schools once a year that you intend to homeschool and describe the curriculum. At the end of the year you provide evidence of academic progress. The law provides several ways to meet this requirement. You can take certain standardized tests, have a portfolio evaluation, etc.

I am definitely going to look into it. I have a Ph.D. and the wife has a Masters. We dont lack for academic credentials. I taught college once, but got disgusted and left the field.

This would sure beat the go arounds I have with the school board over their stupid curriculum.

Thanks Sarah!
