Home schools are private schools in Texas (Leeper vs. Arlington ISD); and therefore, are not regulated by the Texas Education Agency. As a result, administrators (parents) of home schools have tremendous flexibility in educating their children and establishing the requirements for graduation. Texas courts have established the following minimum requirements for Texas home schools:
To have a curriculum (written down plan) that teaches the following:
1. Reading
2. Mathematics
3. Grammar
4. Spelling
5. Good citizenship
The curriculum / lessons must be in visual form (books, workbooks, videos), and must be pursued in a bona fide manner. We may use, borrow, or purchase curriculum materials from an outside source or develop a curriculum of our own. We may also send our children to the homes of other parents for instruction or have tutors come into our homes for all or part of the children’s instruction.
