Notice of Lowered Earning Potential for terminating at age 16 or older (prior to completing high school):
Notice of Lowered Earning Potential for terminating at age 16 or older (prior to completing high school):
Students who are 16 years of age or older are not required to be enrolled in a registered public, private, or homeschool school program as required by compulsory attendance laws. However, it is highly recommended that all students continue in their home education or other program until they have completed four years of high school level instruction in the core academic subjects and had opportunities to explore a variety of elective areas to prepare them for college or a career of their choice. Students who stop participating in formal education prior to completing a typical K-12 learning program are statistically more likely to have lower earning potential and fewer economic opportunities as adults.

Completing A Home Education Program (“Graduating” Your Home Education Student)
Completing A Home Education Program (“Graduating” Your Home Education Student)
Graduation/Curriculum Requirements:- Home education students are not required to follow any state graduation requirements. Parents/Guardians design the home education program of study their students will complete and determine when the student has met those program requirements. For students who plan to attend a post-secondary institution, it is recommended that high school students complete whatever coursework required for admission to their school of choice. Home education students are eligible for college admission, Bright Futures Scholarship consideration, and other post-secondary opportunities. It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to know what requirements may be needed and to ensure the student meets those requirements if those opportunities are desired for the student.

Graduation Ceremonies- Home Education students do not participate in public high school graduation ceremonies. Many parents and home education co-op groups hold private ceremonies to recognize their students. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to join local or regional homeschooling groups, many can be found through social media, as they are an excellent resource for curriculum, socialization opportunities, and hosting student recognition events.
