WV Getting Started

1. Is homeschooling legal? 

Yes.

2. Who may homeschool? 

The parent/guardian is primarily responsible for homeschooling the child, but may delegate teaching, or some portion of the teaching, to a grandparent, tutor, friend, etc. The parent is fully responsible for the education of the child. To teach your children you need to have a high school diploma or its equivalency. If you do not have this, there is a provision that allows you to home educate under someone else’s direction.

3. Should I provide more information than is requested?

It is not recommended to provide the school with any more information other than required by law. Remember, you are notifying the district; not asking for permission.

The homeschool laws are often changing for the most recent infomation and more on West Vigrinia law please visit these websites
