How to homeschool a child with ADHD in Delaware

Delaware allows homeschooling as a single-family homeschool, a multi-family homeschool, or a single-family homeschool coordinated with the local school district. The usual single-family and multi-family options require annual reporting to the Delaware Department of Education, including enrollment at the start of the school year and attendance at the end of the year. Delaware does not require teacher certification or standardized testing for these homeschool options.

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.

Keep copies of your annual enrollment and attendance filings, attendance logs, course lists, work samples, and high school records. If you run a multi-family homeschool, the liaison should keep the reporting records for the group. Testing/evaluation: No statewide standardized testing is required for Delaware homeschool options covered here.
