The following information is provided as a courtesy to NH families who are home educating under RSA 193-A, and is not intended as legal advice. The New Hampshire Homeschooling Coalition strongly urges all parents and legal guardians to read and thoroughly understand the text of the education law applicable to the program they intend to implement prior to beginning that program.
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 home education 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). You may also use other templates or your own as long as your letter provides the required information.
