Laws; Home Education

Homeschooling laws vary from state to state. Although Family Christian Academy’s academic and attendance requirements meet or exceed those of most states, it is the responsibility of the parents, wishing to enroll their students in FCA to become informed regarding the laws of the state in which they live. FCA supports the rights of parents to home educate using the program they choose is best.

Families who are in compliance with the homeschool laws of their state may still be visited by government officials who may not know the law. For this reason, FCA highly recommends that every home-educating family join the Home School Legal Defense Association (hslda.org) and purchase, at an affordable cost, legal insurance for their family. This organization has been defending home educating families for many years, is familiar with the laws of every state and has even helped in writing many of the laws.

FCA wants all members to be aware of their legal right to home educate. Homeschooling is legal in all states. However, the laws and requirements vary from state to state. Please visit our home education law page to get a copy of your state law.
