Overview

In Virginia, the compulsory attendance law permits a child subject to that law to attend a private or public school or receive an education through alternatives to school attendance outlined in state law unless the child is excused from attendance by a local school board, as stated in § 22.1-254 of the Code of Virginia.

Home instruction or home schooling is one alternative to school attendance. In Virginia “any parent, guardian, legal custodian, or other person having control or charge of a child” (§ 22.1-254 of the Code of Virginia) may provide home instruction as prescribed by § 22.1-254.1 of the Code of Virginia.

Parents, please note: 
If you prefer that your child learn at home, but you would rather not be the one to provide the actual instruction, perhaps Virtual School is a solution for you!  Visit the links to the left of this page for more information.
