Homeschool Hero › New York homeschool requirements

New York homeschool requirements, kept for you

New York home instruction comes with an IHIP, four quarterly reports, required subjects for each grade, hours and days of instruction, and an annual assessment. Homeschool Hero keeps the daily records and drafts each quarterly report from them.

What New York asks for

• File an Individualized Home Instruction Plan (IHIP) with your school district, and send four quarterly reports on the dates in it.
• Each quarterly report shows the hours of instruction, the material covered in each subject, and a grade or written narrative for each subject.
• Teach the required subjects for your child's grade (listed below).
• At least 900 hours of instruction a year in grades 1 to 6 and 990 hours in grades 7 to 12, over the equivalent of 180 days, with attendance kept.
• An annual assessment with the last report of the year.
