Does Illinois law permit parents to homeschool?

  Talyah_1992 » Sun, 15 Nov 2020 22:43:41 PM



I know my daughter has considerable potential but she needs the right homeschool resources. homeschool-placer I have spent days online and Lernsys Academy appears to be the only site with such a complete home schooling program emoji-happy. Is it legal to home-school in Illinois? Any advice?

Hey,emoji-happy Yes, however, be sure to comply with the legal requirements to homeschool your child in Illinois. Actually, homeschooling in Illinois is believed to be one of the best places to homeschool in the United States as it requires virtually no government oversight. You who want to homeschool in Illinois are at liberty to decide most of the elements they find appropriate for their child to study. A parent teaching their child at home is not forced by law to be certified as a teacher in Illinois. However, using curriculum developed by a state certified teacher is highly recommended even if the certified educator is not a Illinois teacher. In Illinois, the homeschool laws and regulations are few compared to other states which might require frequent evaluation or annual testing. The law allows homeschoolers to attend school part time. Homeschooling in Illinois is treated as a private school and one does not have to register the homeschool to begin the program. The state allows different options of homeschooling but prohibits registering or recognizing such schools.
