Getting Started - How To Begin Homeschooling If you are new to or considering homeschooling for your family, the following links are a good first step. www.youcanhomeschool.org www.afhe.org/faqs_getting_started.htm www.crosswalk.com/family/home_school/howtobegin.html Definition of a Homeschooler
Members must be a parent and/or guardian who is currently in residence with whom they homeschool or an adult whose intention is to homeschool their child. At least one of the member family's children must be homeschooled. Homeschoolers are parents or legal guardians who choose to educate their own children in at least the required subjects of reading, grammar, math, science, and social studies pursuant to A.R.S. code 15-802. A Homeschooler retains complete control of their child's primary level education. Delegation of control to either a public or private school program or fee-based classes held outside the home for core subjects reclassifies the parents or legal guardians as something other than Homeschoolers, at least in relation to the child(ren) involved in said program or classes. It is unclear what percentage of a child's education constitutes homeschooling, but the spirit of the law implies that the parent teach the core subjects. Additionally, fractional enrollment in publicly funded programs designed for homeschoolers may require the parent or legal guardian to withdraw the Affidavit of Intent to Homeschool with the County School Superintendent. A school district or Charter School is eligible to receive the entire ADM allocation for a child taught over 15 hours per week. Parents of secondary level students enrolled in community college classes, or utilizing other means of instruction, are still considered homeschoolers as long as the parent or legal guardian remains the primary instructor and retains the complete responsibility for their child(ren)'s education.
