N.J. Rev. Stat. The State of New Jersey has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that a family's curriculum is not equivalent. In order to explain that a homeschool family is providing something equivalent, the tradition is to send a curriculum outline once a year. Approval is almost automatic because as long as the family is providing the same general subjects they are equivalent. There is nothing in the law itself to stipulate the homeschool must send a curriculum.
Some parents also send a letter accepting legal responsibility for their children's education.
New Jersey does not have a code that addresses the area of home schooling. N.J. Rev. Stat. Responsibility for enforcing the compulsory education law rests with the local board of education. N.J. Rev. Stat. Return to New Jersey homeschooling information.
