The Homeschool Completion Affidavit—The Final Step for Homeschooling Families

Signing the homeschool completion affidavit is the final stage of home education in Florida that will open your children the door to future academic success. Find out how and when to file the important document with DoNotPay.

What Is a Homeschool Completion Affidavit?

According to Florida homeschool laws, parents must submit a homeschool completion affidavit at the end of a homeschool program. The document should be signed in the presence of a notary and forwarded to the school county superintendent. You’re required to sign the affidavit even if you’ve hired someone else to homeschool your child.

The homeschool completion affidavit is:

• Mandatory
• Of equal value to a public or private school diploma
• Accepted by all post-secondary institutions
• A substitute for a homeschool diploma

How To Fill In a Homeschool Completion Affidavit

You can download a template for the homeschool completion affidavit from:

• The official websites of educational institutions in Florida (colleges and universities)
• Various homeschool associations' web pages

The document layout is mostly uniform and includes the following sections:

Other Graduation Requirements for Homeschooled Kids

Florida provides parents interested in home education with three distinct homeschooling options:

1. Teaching their child first-hand
2. Hiring a homeschool teacher
3. Enrolling their child in an “umbrella” program (a private school that provides supervision for homeschooled students)

If you’ve decided to single-handedly homeschool your kids, you must meet the following requirements, or the completion affidavit will be invalid:

1. Submit a letter of intent to homeschool to the school county superintendent—You must file the affidavit 30 days before the homeschool program begins. It’s also possible to remove your child from public school at any point during the school year
2. Devise a curriculum—According to homeschool laws in Florida, the curriculum is entirely personalized. You can base it around your religious beliefs, chosen teaching method (e.g., the Charlotte Mason curriculum), or other preferences (e.g., nature-based curriculum)
3. Create a homeschool portfolio—The transcripts should include the learning materials you’ve used, a list of school activities, and samples of the student’s work
4. Perform annual evaluations—You can have your child take state or national assessment tests or invite a certified teacher to judge their progress

The Most Common Challenges of Homeschooling

Getting started with homeschooling is a piece of cake, especially with DoNotPay’s expert products. Filing a homeschool completion affidavit is also fairly easy to handle. When it comes to homeschool, it’s often the “middle part” of the journey parents find challenging.

Before you make your decision, think about the following aspects of home education:

• The cost of homeschooling—In some states, homeschooling families are eligible for financial aid, but you’ll still have to cover the majority of the costs
• Your child’s learning aptitude—Whether your child is a gifted student or struggles with learning difficulties will inevitably affect the process. You’ll have to adapt the curriculum to their immediate needs
• Socializing—Since your child will have limited contact with their peers, you’ll have to ensure they don’t become isolated. A good way to get in touch with people from similar backgrounds is to join a local homeschool co-op
