American Home Schools |
New Hampshire homeschooling parents send a) a letter of intent either before the first day of the new school year or when beginning a home education program, if later, and b) a description of the scope, sequence, and materials for the program within 30 days of the initial letter of intent. A portfolio containing samples of the child's work must be maintained, and some type of evaluation must be provided by July 1. Most homeschoolers choose portfolio evaluation, but the law indicates that "any mutually [between parent and administrator] agreed upon method" is acceptable. Additionally New Hampshire has a dual enrollment statute which allows for homeschoolers to participate in curricular and co-curricular (but not extra-curricular) public school activities. Extra-curricular activities are allowed at the discretion of the individual schools and superintendents.
