Requirements

Because home schools are considered private schools in Texas, the administrators (parents) of home schools have the ability to determine the requirements for graduation for its students just as any other private school.

Our only requirements as decided by the Leeper vs. Arlington ISD case, finally settled in 1994 are these:

To have a curriculum (written down plan) which teaches reading, mathematics, grammar, spelling, and good citizenship. The curriculum/lessons must be in visual form (books, workbooks, videos) and we must pursue these in a bona fide manner. We may use, borrow, or purchase curriculum materials from an outside source or develop curriculum of our own. We may also send our children to the home of another parent for instruction or have a tutor come into our family's home for all or part of the children's instruction.
