WELCOME
Welcome! Are you wanting to learn more about Homeschooling in North Carolina?
Families will find it quite simple and rewarding to homeschool in this beautiful, coastal state!
The North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education (DNPE) has just three basic requirements to adhere to
after submitting your Notice of Intent to Operate a Home School:
1. Track student attendance & provide instruction for at least nine months of the year.
2. Administer a nationally standardized achievement test once a year.
3. Keep an Immunization Record (or Medical/Religious Exemption) for each student.
Families in southeast North Carolina have access to many local resources for support on their
homeschooling journey. Children and their caregivers will have many opportunities to build new
friendships, immerse themselves in their community like never before, and to create a multitude of long lasting
memories thanks to the extra time families will have spent together. Congratulations, on the decision to take
your child’s education - and their future success - into your own hands! We hope that you and your child take
time to enjoy the freedom and enriching, life changing experiences homeschooling can bring.
