Delaware homeschool co-ops and support groups

Yes. Delaware allows a multi-family homeschool option for families who want to coordinate together, though it is not the same as a classic church-school umbrella in some other states.

Yes. Families may use online curriculum privately, and public online options may also exist, but public virtual enrollment is different from independent homeschooling.

Public school sports access is not guaranteed in a simple statewide way for every homeschooler, so eligibility often depends on district and athletic rules.

Yes. Homeschool students may be able to use dual enrollment or college classes if they meet local admissions and program requirements.

Access to special education services can depend on district practice and whether the student is enrolled in a public program. Independent homeschoolers may have more limited access than full-time public school students.

1. 1Ask whether it is social-only, academic, faith-based, secular, drop-off, or parent-led.
2. 2Confirm it does not conflict with Delaware homeschool requirements for notice, records, testing, or parent responsibility.
3. 3Ask about safety policies, background checks, costs, parent volunteer expectations, and refund rules.
4. 4For high school, ask whether classes provide grades, credits, labs, transcripts, or only enrichment.
5. 5Keep co-op class descriptions and grades in your own records; do not assume the group is your official school recordkeeper.
