Welcome to the Home Education
Program (HEP) Office’s website. The site contains information
and resources to assist you as you home educate your child(ren).
Our office will mail you an acknowledgement letter when we
receive your notice of intent to establish a Home Education
Program. We hope you find this information useful.
The purpose of the Home Education
Program is to permit parents to comply with the compulsory
school attendance law while teaching their child(ren) at home.
For the purpose of this document, “parent” refers to the parent
or guardian.
To establish a Home Education
Program, a parent must provide written notice to the district
school superintendent of his/her intent to establish and
maintain a home education program. The home education program
applies only to students ages six (6) through sixteen (16).
Information regarding Kindergarten is included in the packet.
Requirements of the home
education program are outlined in Florida Statutes and are
provided in this packet. Please click on the links to the
Summary of Home Education Requirements and the
Home Education FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Program.

The parent who assumes
responsibility for educating a child at home also assumes the
responsibility for providing curriculum, educational materials,
and evaluations necessary to determine student progress. The
school system does not supply textbooks, curriculum guides, or
educational standards for the home-educated student.
Please keep this information with
your important papers as it will be a valuable reference for you
in the coming months.
