If your child will be between the ages of 7 and 15 for any part of the upcoming school year (ending next June 30) you must do so to be in compliance with the law. The RCHSA Board expects each member homeschool to operate within the legal limits of NC state law. We also expect that children educated in member homeschools are receiving proper academic instruction. You can contact the DNPE office at: NC Department of Non-Public Education, 1309 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1309, by phone (919) 733-4276, or website, www.ncdnpe.org.
Please note that NC Virtual Schools/Charters/Academies DO NOT qualify as homeschooling by state statutes and therefore we are unable to accept members who utilize these programs. [Read More Here…]
