What Virginia 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

Who actually reviews your child
The division superintendent, who decides whether a non-test evaluation is adequate.
By 15 AUGUST each year
Goes to: Local school division
Includes a description of the curriculum and evidence that the parent meets one of the statutory qualifications.
By 1 AUGUST following the school year of instruction
Goes to: SUBMITTED to the local school division
Either (i) a composite score in or above the FOURTH STANINE on a nationally normed standardized achievement test, or an equivalent score on the ACT, SAT or PSAT; or (ii) an evaluation or assessment that the division superintendent determines shows the child is achieving an adequate level of educational growth and progress.
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 Virginia and builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.
