What New Hampshire actually asks of a family teaching their own children. Written plainly, and honest where the answer is that nobody asks for anything.
United StatesFiling requiredWho is in charge
A 'participating agency': the resident district superintendent, a nonpublic school principal, or the Commissioner of Education
Who actually reviews your child
No one reviews the evaluation. The participating agency only counts programs, reporting numbers to the Commissioner on 1 October.
Within 5 business days of commencing the program
Goes to: The chosen participating agency
Child's name, age and address plus a statement of intent. The agency acknowledges in writing within 14 days.
End of each program year
Goes to: KEPT BY THE PARENT, expressly not submitted to any authority
Portfolio review, an interview, or testing administered by the participating agency. RSA 193-A:6 II makes the record the property of the parent and student.
n/a
How often: continuous
Goes to: Kept at home
A log designating reading materials by title, plus samples of writings, worksheets, workbooks and creative materials for each year.
Filing on time is the easy half. The harder half is the year in between: showing what your child actually learned, in words the reviewer recognises, without turning your home into a school.
That is what this app is for. You say what your child did, in a sentence. It maps that to the real curriculum for New Hampshire and builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.
