TESTING/NOTICE OF INTENT/Public School Contacts

Home Instruction Contacts, Forms & Testing Opportunites


Whether new to homeschooling or a veteran, each family is required to turn a NOTICE OF INTENT to homeschool.  


Select the county in which you live.

Fill out the NOI as well as the List of Subjects (Description of Curriculum) your child intends on covering for the school year. The List of Subjects can be simply a list of classes intending to take--further detail is NOT required. Either email or snailmail back to your city/county.  


In VA: Notice of Intent is usually due by AUGUST 15th (or as soon as possible if mid-year) to your county.  Be sure to keep a copy of your submissions every year.


If you need further assistance with this, contact us HERE.

NOTE: The Virginia High School League prohibits homeschooled students from participating in school sports programs. HEAV is neutral on this topic but does keep VA homeschoolers informed. In 2015, the governor vetoed a bill that would have allowed sports access. The override vote was not successful. Read two different viewpoints on the topic in the HEAV Magazine.
