Cary Homeschoolers: Homeschooling Information

All legalities, required forms, and statistics on homeschooling in NC can be found on The Division of Non-Public Education’s website: DNPE

In addition, our Homeschooling Frequently Asked Questions section has more information about the legalities and what’s required.

You might want to visit different homeschooling sites found on the Internet or read some homeschooling books to get ideas about how you’d like to proceed. There aren’t any rules you have to follow in how you educate your child(ren), but there are a lot of options available for you to choose from. The key is to figure out what works for your child. This ranges widely amongst homeschooling families. Please feel free to browse our resource list.

You may also wish to locate a homeschool support group so you have some support and your children can get to know other homeschooled children. There are many local support groups to choose from in this area, each with their own philosophies, objectives, and “feel.” Try visiting several until you find one with a good “fit” for your family. There are email groups for online support as well. Please see our support groups page for more information on different groups.

Last -- don’t worry. You know your child(ren)’s needs better than anyone.
