Start Homeschooling in Florida With Confidence
Beginning a homeschool journey can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure it out alone. Jenisis helps Florida families understand the homeschool registration process, prepare the required documents, organize student records, and stay on track with Florida home education requirements.
Whether you are just getting started, transitioning from public school, or preparing for high school completion, Jenisis provides guidance and support every step of the way.
What Is Required to Register for Homeschool in Florida?
In Florida, parents or guardians may establish a home education program by submitting a written Notice of Intent to the school district superintendent in the county where the family lives.
The Notice of Intent must be submitted within 30 days of beginning the home education program. The notice must include the child’s:
-
Full legal name
-
Date of birth
-
Home address
Once the notice is submitted, the district registers the student as a home education student. Florida families are not required to follow a specific curriculum, number of school hours, or traditional school schedule, but they are responsible for maintaining records and submitting an annual evaluation.
Florida Homeschool Parent Responsibilities
After registering for homeschool, parents are responsible for:
1. Maintaining a Student Portfolio
Florida requires parents to keep a portfolio that includes:
-
A log of educational activities
-
A list of reading materials used
-
Samples of student work
-
Worksheets, writing samples, projects, or other learning documentation
The portfolio should be kept for at least two years.
2. Completing an Annual Evaluation
Each year, parents must submit an annual evaluation showing that the student is making educational progress appropriate to their ability.
Evaluation options may include:
-
Portfolio review by a certified teacher
-
Nationally normed achievement test
-
State assessment
-
Evaluation by a licensed psychologist
-
Another approved measurement agreed upon by the parent and district
3. Filing a Letter of Termination When Homeschool Ends
If the student returns to public school, enrolls in private school, graduates, or ends the homeschool program, the parent must submit a letter of termination to the district.
