Homeschool Policy

All homeschool students without a high school diploma or GED/HiSET are eligible to apply for admission to the Individual Dual Enrollment Access (IDEA) program provided they are successfully participating in an approved homeschool program in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws or the laws of their home states.

To determine whether a student has participated in an approved homeschool program, the student shall submit evidence that the homeschool program has been approved by the student’s school district superintendent or school committee. Additionally, if the homeschool student is under the age of compulsory attendance, a letter from the student’s school district’s superintendent or school committee is required. This letter must state the student is not considered truant and would not be required to attend further schooling or continue to be homeschooled if the student has completed his or her home school program before the age of 16.
