\"\"Welcome to North Carolina!<\/h4>\n

North Carolina is a great place to homeschool! If you are a homeschooler who is moving into NC, we hope to help you in your transition with this information.<\/p>\n

Every state in the US has different laws about homeschooling. We have a great law.<\/p>\n

In North Carolina, homeschools are governed by the Division of Non-Public Education (DNPE). We are the only state who has a division like this. Homeschoolers in NC do not report to the Division of Public Instruction in any way. Homeschools are legally non-public schools, and non-public schools are under the oversight of DNPE.

Simply Put<\/h3>\n

\"\"To comply with the NC homeschool law, you file a notice of intent to operate a homeschool with the NC Division of Non-Public Education (DNPE). The teacher will need to submit proof that he\/she has a minimum of a high school diploma. You will need to name your school, and it is important to know that you can never change the name. After you open your school, you will need to keep attendance records showing that you schooled on a regular basis for a minimum of 9 months annually. Your students will need to take a nationally standardized achievement test every year. Immunzation records need to be kept up-to-date unless you have a waiver. You do not need to open a school until your oldest child turns seven.<\/p>\n

About NC Homeschool Law<\/h2>\n

During the 1988 session North Carolinians for Home Education (NCHE) convinced the North Carolina General Assembly to amend Article 39 of chapter 115C<\/a> of the General Statutes to allow home instruction, under certain conditions, as a means of complying with compulsory school attendance requirements. While it was a good law and homeschooling flourished under it, NCHE saw room for improvement. The needed change was in the definition of “home school.” On March 5, 2013 NCHE had bills filed in both the NC House of Representatives and the Senate to make the change in the “home school” definition. The bill passed unanimously at every stage and was signed into law on May 30, 2013<\/p>\n
