Home Education is education that is directed by the parent or guardian of a child who has been excused from attending school. The parent or guardian selects the curriculum and educational materials and takes responsibility for educating the child. There is no state financial assistance for families who choose this option.

1. Parent(s) must submit the Home Education Notification form, several weeks before school begins.
2. Parent(s) must submit the completed Home Education Notification form to the Clermont County Educational Service Center for review. (Our address is noted on the top of the form).
3. Superintendent reviews notification within 14 days of receipt, to determine if it is in compliance, and then notifies the parent with an “Acknowledgement” letter.
4. Continuing Home Educators must submit a Home Education Notification form with an Academic Assessment report or nationally normed standardized achievement test each year for Home Education as set forth in rule 3301-12-02 of the Administrative Code.

Online schools, or “e-Schools”
While students enrolled in state-chartered online schools, or “e-Schools,” do typically work from home, these state-chartered online schools are considered community schools and are not the same as home education. Like other forms of public and private schools, online schools are responsible for providing the curriculum and educational resources.
