Since we are legally recognized as a private school, registering with us often enables families to satisfy many of their local area's educational requirements. Note the word 'many', not 'all'. You will still need to contact your local officials and file whatever notices or evaluations they require for homeschoolers in your school district. Enrolling with us will assist you in complying with the laws in your area, not necessarily exempt you from them.
