Homeschooling in Delaware: the paperwork, exactly

What Delaware law requires when you teach your child at home — the filings, the deadlines, the records — and what it does not require, in writing.

Delaware — Recurring filing calendar

Notice: Register the homeschool as a nonpublic school with the Department of Education; annual enrollment statement due by October 5.

Ongoing duties: Annual attendance report to the Department of Education by July 31 each year; no state testing required.

Withdrawal from public school: no codified withdrawal procedure — a dated written notice to the school is the practice, and it creates your paper record.
