A growing number of parents are choosing
to home school their children. Each family has
their own personal reasons for doing so. 

• Overcrowding in public schools
• Lack of individual attention from teachers and school staff
• Level of education being offered in the public setting, but private school education is too expensive
• Focus more on student “making the grade” than student progression
• Religious reasons or personal family core values
• Emotional abuse: bullying and peer pressure
• Classified or Labeled and singled out by peers or teacher
• Parents desiring to spend more time with their children and families
• Medical conditions
• Professional and amateur athletes in training

And many other reasons….Whatever your reason.

Ivy League Educational Services can help
meet your Home Schooling Needs!

By Definition, “a home education program is sequentially progressive instruction of a student in his or her home by his or her parent or guardian.”  (FL statute 228.041).  Therefore you must be your child’s primary instructor or follow the rules and regulations prescribed in the law regarding private schools or private tutors.  If you hold a valid, regular, Florida certificate to teach the subjects or grades of your children, then you may choose this option.

Below is a list of Home School websites and links that we thought might be helpful to our parents.
