Steps to starting Homechool?

Question

Okay so I've narrowed my options down to Penn Foster High, American School Of Correspondence, and Progress Academy. I Don't know which one I will choose yet but let's I've chosen one already, what are the next steps? I've already searched if home school is permitted in Texas and it is..So what are the next steps?

Do I need to notify anyone beside my current school?

Answer 1

Depends on the state laws. Go to HSDLA and look up Texas. They have a complete list of what your requirements are. After that you can choose  umbrella school like those you listed or choose your own curriculm. According to their interpretation of the Texas law, you do not have to report to the local schools at all. I would actually talk to other homeschoolers in the  area to find out who they contact.

Answer 2

No-just sign up with one of the schools you listed and you are all set!

Best of Luck!
