3. 3Confirm the publisher is truly secular if that matters to your family, especially in science and history.
4. 4Make sure your plan can cover New Hampshire's required subjects: Science, Mathematics, Language, Government, History, Health, Reading, Writing, Spelling, The history of the constitutions of New Hampshire and the United States, An exposure to and appreciation of art and music.
5. 5Keep a curriculum list and samples in case your New Hampshire records ever need review.

Moderate. Parents direct the program, but New Hampshire law specifies subject areas and requires yearly progress evaluation.

Parents must maintain a portfolio including a log of reading materials by title and samples of writings, worksheets, workbooks, or creative materials used or developed by the child. The portfolio remains the parent's property and must be preserved for 2 years from the end of instruction. Parents must also keep a copy of the annual evaluation.
