Ending Your Homeschooling Program

The following information is provided as a courtesy to homeschooling families in New Hampshire and is not intended as legal advice. It is only applicable to those homeschooling under RSA 193-A. If you are homeschooling using an Education Freedom Account, you are homeschooling under a different legal statute. Please see our Homeschooling with an EFA page.

Termination or Completion of Home Education Program

If you decide to end your child’s home education program prior to age 18 (and meet the compulsory attendance requirement in another fashion), written notice should be filed with your participating agency within 15 days of termination of the program.  

If your student has finished their high school homeschooling program but is younger than 18, you must certify high school completion with the New Hampshire Department of Education. Send a letter to the Commissioner of Education at the Department of Education. (While this letter notes both termination and completion, follow instructions for completion).

Please see our complete Legal Requirements page for comprehensive information on homeschooling under RSA 193:A.
