Virginia Home Instruction Statute

The Virginia Home Instruction Statute allows parents to educate their children at home. To comply, parents must submit an annual notice of intent to homeschool and demonstrate their educational plan. Options include following a set curriculum, using a correspondence school, or demonstrating their child's academic progress through standardized tests or assessments. The law emphasizes parental responsibility while ensuring that homeschooled children receive a quality education. Additionally, families must keep educational records and participate in periodic assessments to comply with state regulations. This law provides flexibility for families to tailor education to their children's needs while maintaining standards.
