Records must be submitted at the end of each school year. Instruction must be given 4 hours a day. However, students in grades 9-12 must file a 'notice of intent to homeschool' with the local school district. This requires a letter to be sent to the superintendent stating your intent to homeschool, the high school students name, age, and grade level. You will hear the term dual enrollment used for the high school years.
Some umbrella schools require their registering families to sign a Statement of Faith.
Since these schools are primarily Protestant, the Statement of Faith will be in accordance with the doctrinal practices of the specific school. In some cases, the Statement of Faith is found to be contrary to Catholic teaching. If your child is currently registered in the public or parochial school system, you should register them with an umbrella school before taking them out of their current school. Your umbrella school will request a transcript from your child's former school. In this instance, the term 'homeschooling' is not used.
