State of Connecticut Homeschool Guidelines
Thinking about homeschooling in Connecticut or already on the journey? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. The Connecticut State Department of Education offers guidance for families who choose to homeschool, including how to notify your local school district, what the state expects academically, and helpful best practices to keep in mind. While Connecticut gives families a lot of flexibility, it’s still important to understand the basics of the law and your options for things like record-keeping and high school completion. This official resource is a great starting point for understanding how homeschooling works in Connecticut.
Connecticut Homeschool Network
Whether you’re just exploring homeschooling or already deep into your journey, the Connecticut Homeschool Network (CHN) is one of the most helpful, community-driven resources you’ll find for homeschoolers in Connecticut. CHN is a long-standing, independent nonprofit run by homeschoolers for homeschoolers — and it’s completely inclusive, welcoming families of all backgrounds, lifestyles, and teaching approaches.
On their site you’ll find practical information on getting started, legal and educational resources specific to Connecticut, ways to connect with other homeschool families, local support groups, annual events and conferences, and opportunities to build community in your area. CHN also keeps homeschoolers informed about issues that matter most to families and advocates for homeschool freedom in the state.
If you’re looking to connect, learn, and grow alongside other homeschoolers in Connecticut, this network is a great place to start.
