We sincerely wish to be of service to you as you investigate home education.  There are a great number of advantages to membership in SVHE as well.  Here are several important and helpful items for your review and reference:

Kansas Homeschooling Legalities: Is home schooling "legal" in Kansas? What are the requirements?

Curriculum options: How does one choose curriculum?  Here is an excellent list of options and recommendations.

A checklist for getting started

Join SVHE: Just download an application form, fill it out and bring it to the next meeting!

Register your school with the State Board of Education: Registration is required once.  There is no fee.  Provide only the information required.

Join HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association): Membership in HSLDA is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged.  HSLDA is a reputable organization which advocates for home education on a national and state level.  It is relatively inexpensive and does provide legal defense in case your home school is questioned.

Sample letter to withdraw your child from the public school.  You will need to formally notify the school that your child will be withdrawn from school and will be attending a private, non-accredited school.  This is a sample letter you can modify as needed.

Sample letter/form to request records be transferred.  This helpful form will allow you to obtain your child's records for your documentation.
