New Hampshire homeschool co-ops and support groups

Yes. A family may file notice through an approved nonpublic school that agrees to administer the relevant parts of the law, but this is optional.

Yes. Families may use online curriculum privately, but public online school enrollment is different from independent home education.

Yes, in a qualified way. Annual evaluation results may be used to demonstrate academic proficiency for participation in public school programs and co-curricular activities, and home educated students are subject to the same participation and eligibility conditions as public school students.

Possible, but the reviewed New Hampshire source set does not clearly describe one statewide homeschool dual-enrollment rule for college courses.

The reviewed New Hampshire homeschool statute does not provide a simple statewide special-education summary for independent homeschoolers, and the official DOE homeschool page in the raw bundle returned access-denied errors. Families should verify current service options directly with the state or local district.

1. 1Ask whether it is social-only, academic, faith-based, secular, drop-off, or parent-led.
2. 2Confirm it does not conflict with New Hampshire 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.
