Tips for Getting Started with Homeschooling
Homeschooling in Illinois
- States and counties have their own requirements for homeschooling. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and DuPage Regional Office of Education (DuPage ROE) have put together their most frequently asked questions and resources here:
- Home School Legal Defense Association is a nonprofit advocacy organization that provides education and support to parents who want to homeschool their family. It also offers legal information on the constitutional rights of parents to direct their child’s education.
- National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) conducts and collects research about homeschooling and publishes the research journal Home School Researcher.
- If you are considering an online option for your child’s homeschooling experience, compare reviews for online homeschool programs with ConsumerAffairs.
- If you are wondering what a typical course of study might look like for your child’s grade, World Book has curriculum guides for preschool to 12th grade. Each grade is broken down by subjects, such as mathematics, language arts, and science.
