Home Education is defined by Florida Statute, as "the sequentially progressive instruction of a student directed by his or her parent or guardian, in order to satisfy attendance requirements of SS.1002.41, 1003.01 (4) and 1003.21 (1)." 

To home school, parents are withdrawing the student from public school. The parent takes on all the roles and responsibilities of educating the student including: curriculum and instruction, materials, and record keeping. Home school students are NOT public school students even though the home education program is registered in the school district. 

This site contains information about the Home Education Program. The materials provided will give you the necessary information to initiate and maintain a Home Education Program for your child(ren). 

Florida Statute 1002.41 requires that you notify the District Superintendent or designee in writing of your intent to initiate a Home Education Program. In order to register, we have provided this simple online intent to homeschool form.  You may also email a letter of intent that includes at a minimum your student’s full legal name, date of birth, residential address in Clay County, and program start date to HSCinfo@myoneclay.net, or mail a letter with that information to the Home Education Office. For accuracy in our school district registration system, additional information may be requested at the time of registration.

Important: The Clay County School District is not authorized by the Florida Department of Education to award high school diplomas to home educated students.  Home Education students are NOT eligible to participate in CCDS public high school graduation ceremonies.  Final school transcripts for home education students are prepared by the parent/guardian.
