Our free homeschooling guides are not a rigid curriculum to be followed without question, but rather a robust toolkit designed to empower your unique educational journey. We believe you are the best teacher for your child, and these guides provide the high-quality, flexible resources you need to build a learning experience that is perfect for your family.
Documents needed for homeschooling vary significantly by state, but commonly include a notice of intent, records of attendance and grades, proof of vaccination, and annual test scores or portfolio reviews.
For high school students, a well-documented transcript is also necessary for college applications.
Homeschool Guidebook
Use this guidebook to guide your daily activities by implementing specific teaching strategies, such as breaking down lessons, discussing concepts, and incorporating various resources to create a dynamic learning environment.
Notice of intent to homeschool:
In most states, you must submit this form annually to your local school district to declare that you will be homeschooling.
Proof of parent's qualifications:
Some states require documentation to prove the homeschooling parent has a high school diploma, GED, or higher education degree.
A comprehensive guide to homeschool record keeping
Keeping homeschool records provides a child's academic history for college or job applications, helps ensure compliance with state regulations, and allows for progress monitoring to inform future educational decisions. Records can also include proof of education, act as a valuable reference for future planning, and offer a sense of accomplishment for the student.
Students attendance record
Some states require that you track the number of instructional days or hours, often for a set number of days per year.

Child's immunization records
You must maintain a record of your child's vaccinations or a state-approved exemption, just as is required for students in a traditional school.
A comprehensive guide to homeschool scheduling
Many homeschool families find success by creating a flexible daily or weekly routine instead of a rigid, minute-by-minute schedule. This allows for spontaneous learning and accommodates unexpected opportunities. For instance, you could schedule core subjects for the morning and use the afternoon for creative time, nature walks, and projects.
