The law Act 169 of 1988

Home schooling in PA has a very specific law on what you need to do....which amounts to jumping through 14 or so hoops but you can do it easily if you read and study the law. That is your first homework assignment as a home school parent. Know what you will stand up for in order to keep your freedom and flexibility. AND, in spite of all you need to do, there are so many gray areas in all that text of the law, you do have lots of freedom. You are the supervisor of the program, so how you go about complying to the law has many, many applications to suit your family.

There are lots of web sites where you can read the LAW.
HSLDA and PHEA.net are good starters!

Caution: do not read what someone says it says.....read it for your self.
I will later post a break down of the law that makes it easy to understand.
