The most common option, <span class=\"bold\">Home Instruction<\/span>, simply requires you to notify your local school division. To do this, parents file a <span class=\"italic\">Notice of Intent to Provide Home Instruction<\/span> in writing with the superintendent by August 1 for the upcoming school year (or within 30 days of starting mid-year). This notice formally registers your program under state law.<\/p>\r\n<p>The other two options\u2014homeschooling under a <span class=\"bold\">Religious Exemption<\/span> or with a <span class=\"bold\">Certified Tutor<\/span>\u2014require you to seek and receive formal approval from the superintendent before you can begin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Homeschooling in Virginia: Laws and Requirements<\/h2>\r\n<p>Virginia law has no requirement for the number of days or hours of instruction per school year.<\/p>\r\n<p>While Virginia does not mandate a specific list of subjects, parents must include a list of the subjects they intend to teach for the coming year with their Notice of Intent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Reporting and Evaluations<\/h2>\r\n<p>After filing your Notice of Intent, the only state-required submittals involve evaluations for children ages 6 through 16. By August 1 each year, parents must provide one of the following:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>A nationally normed achievement test with scores in the fourth stanine or above<\/li>\r\n  <li>A written evaluation from a qualified evaluator (certified teacher, relevant college graduate, etc.)<\/li>\r\n  <li>A transcript or report card from an accredited institution<\/li>\r\n  <li>Another evaluation method approved by your superintendent<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>No immunization records, daily lesson logs, or additional filings are required by state law once the Notice of Intent is submitted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Virginia Homeschool Curriculum and Programs<\/h2>\r\n<p>Virginia allows families complete curricular freedom, so you may select mastery-based, multisensory programs or combine online and hands-on materials. Many parents choose:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-reading\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"italic\">All About Reading<\/span><\/a> to build strong phonics and fluency skills<\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-spelling\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"italic\">All About Spelling<\/span><\/a> to develop systematic spelling mastery<\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-math\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"italic\">All About Math<\/span><\/a> for concrete, visual math understanding<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Virginia\u2019s public library systems, museum outreach programs, and community co-ops provide local resources to enrich every subject.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Online and Low-Cost Homeschooling Options in Virginia<\/h2>\r\n<p>Families may supplement or fully deliver instruction through online programs offered by accredited providers. Free resources include:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.khanacademy.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Khan Academy<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doe.virginia.gov\/parents-students\/parent-resources\/parent-teacher-partnerships\/education-resources-to-support-your-child-s-learning-at-home\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Virginia DOE online materials<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/free-resources\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">All About Learning Press Free Resources<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Some districts offer public cyber schools at no cost. These are considered public education, not independent homeschooling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Cost Considerations and Grants<\/h2>\r\n<p>Virginia imposes no fees for filing the Notice of Intent and does not provide state-funded stipends. Families can reduce curriculum costs through:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li>Library lending programs<\/li>\r\n  <li>Community co-op sharing<\/li>\r\n  <li>Free online tools<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Private foundations and local co-ops may occasionally offer scholarships or sliding-scale program fees.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Homeschool Groups in Virginia<\/h2>\r\n<p>Virginia boasts a vibrant homeschooling community, with cooperatives and support networks organizing group classes, field trips, and social events. The <a href=\"https:\/\/heav.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Home Educators Association of Virginia<\/a> and county-based groups offer curriculum fairs, workshops, and encouragement for new families.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Virginia Homeschool Diploma and Graduation<\/h2>\r\n<p>Virginia does not issue diplomas for homeschoolers, so parents may create their own diploma and transcript. Many follow Virginia DOE guidelines to align courses with college admission expectations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re new to homeschooling or want tips from veteran homeschoolers, check out these free resources:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/blog\/how-to-start-homeschooling\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">How to Start Homeschooling<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/blog\/teach-at-home-free-resources\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Free Resources for Teaching at Home<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/blog\/organizational-tools-i-couldnt-homeschool-without\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">7 Tips for Staying Organized<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/blog\/build-your-home-library\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">6 Inexpensive Ways to Build Your Home Library<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/blog\/im-thinking-about-homeschooling-but\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I\u2019m Thinking About Homeschooling, but\u2026<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/blog\/what-i-wished-i-knew-before-homeschooling\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">What I Wish I Knew Before Homeschooling<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"collapse-card\">\r\n  <div class=\"collapse-card__heading\">\r\n    <div class=\"collapse-card__title\">\r\n      <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" style=\"height: 2em; margin: 0 0 0px 0; fill: #88adc9;\" width=\"24\" height=\"28\"><path d=\"M13.75 18.75v2.5q0 .22-.14.36t-.3.2h-2.5q-.2 0-.3-.1t-.1-.3v-2.5q0-.2.15-.34t.34-.14h2.5q.22 0 .36.1t.15.37zm4-7.75q0 .78-.23 1.4t-.72 1.08-.8.7-.94.55q-.5.28-.72.44t-.4.38-.2.45v.5q0 .22-.13.36t-.3.14h-2.5q-.2 0-.3-.14t-.1-.36v-1.06q0-.55.17-1t.4-.75.6-.6.65-.4.7-.3q.8-.4 1.17-.7t.36-.8q0-.7-.7-1.1t-1.5-.5q-.84 0-1.5.4-.4.3-1.2 1.3-.15.2-.4.2-.17 0-.3-.1L7 9.8q-.16-.1-.2-.3t.08-.3q1.9-3 5.45-3 2.03 0 3.74 1.4t1.7 3.4zM12 4q-2.03 0-3.88.8t-3.2 2.13-2.12 3.2T2 14t.8 3.88 2.13 3.2 3.2 2.12T12 24t3.88-.8 3.2-2.13 2.12-3.2T22 14t-.8-3.88-2.13-3.2-3.2-2.12T12 4zm12 10q0 3.27-1.6 6.02T18 24.4 12 26t-6.02-1.6T1.6 20 0 14t1.6-6.02T6 3.6 12 2t6.02 1.6T22.4 8t1.6 6z\"><\/path><\/svg>\r\n      Is homeschooling legal in Virginia?\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n  <div class=\"collapse-card__body\">\r\n    Yes.
