I am in NJ, would the homeschooling plan at Calvert School be accepted in my state?

Answer 1

I don't see why not - the only requirement is that you provide an education at least "equivalent to that of public schools".  Calvert goes way beyond what is offered in the vast majority of public schools, so there shouldn't be any problem.

From what I can see, you don't have to get your program approved; you can do whatever you like.  Calvert is known for being an excellent program.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes

NJ has no specific content laws or proofs required other than the method be comparable to what is taught in NJ public schools.

Answer 3

You can use whatever you want in NJ, there are no requirements, you don't have to show anything to the school district when you pull your child out.

      Is it the responsibility of the local board of education to review and approve the curriculum for a child educated elsewhere than at school?

    No. The law does not require or authorize the local board of education to review and approve the curriculum or program of a child educated elsewhere than at school. When parent(s)/guardian(s) educate a child elsewhere than at school, they are responsible for the educational outcomes of the child. The local board of education is not required or authorized to monitor the outcomes of the child."
