FOR OUR HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES
Homeschooling with support
Plan flexible learning days around your child’s goals, interests, communication, and access needs.
Choose your education pathway.Use Florida’s home education guidance and your district’s home education office to understand registration, records, and evaluations.
Turn goals into activities.Use Quick Lesson for daily or weekly plans, or build an ongoing 180-day plan in the School Year Planner. Add documents, appointments, and progress as the year unfolds.
Keep learning and support connected.Save work samples and notes on what helps. Ask your district which evaluation and service options apply to your child’s education pathway.
Explore Catholic education with your child’s learning and support needs in view.
Find diocesan contacts, local schools, and schools that publish specialized learning programs. Ask each school to review your child’s needs and explain the support it can provide.
Explore private schools, specialized learning programs, and public charter schools in one place. Compare teaching, staffing, accessibility, and the practical fit for your child.
Charter schools are public schools of choice. Private-school service arrangements differ, so ask each school how it will support your child’s needs.
Results include Catholic schools and official school directories. Each listing identifies its school type.
Ask about your child’s needs.Review learning supports, communication access, sensory needs, therapy arrangements, and accessible activities.
Understand how services work.For charter schools, ask how the IEP and related services will be provided. For private schools, ask what the school offers and what must be arranged separately.
Review admissions and costs.Ask about applications, available places, and transportation. For private schools, request tuition, support fees, and scholarship details in writing.
Florida offers full-time and part-time virtual options through districts and Florida Virtual School. Taking an online class does not by itself identify your enrollment pathway.
Confirm who maintains the IEP, how services happen, and the attendance, technology, and adult-help expectations. Ask whether the program fits a home education plan or requires school enrollment.
These names can describe very different arrangements. A group may offer enrichment, part-time teaching, or a private-school program.
Ask who is responsible for enrollment, records, evaluations, supervision, and disability supports. Check accessibility and caregiver participation before joining.
Navigate Exceptional Student Education (ESE), evaluations, and school supports with your child’s team.
Start with your concerns.Talk with your child’s teacher or school ESE contact. Ask about evaluation steps and the supports your child may need.
Understand the plan.Review IEP goals, accommodations, related services, and progress updates with the team. Ask the school about Section 504 when you have disability-related access or accommodation questions.
Prepare for the next meeting.Bring your child’s strengths, work samples, and a short list of questions. Ask who will provide each support and how you will hear about progress.
