Home Schooling
Dear Parent/Guardian:
The Baltimore County Public School system supports
Home Schooling in accordance with the Code of Maryland Regulations
(COMAR 13A.10.01.)
The following information is available on this
website:
After reviewing these materials, should you
decide to instruct your child/ren at home, please complete
and return the Home Schooling Notification Form as instructed.
Additionally, any questions you might have regarding non-public
entities registered in Maryland may be directed to the Maryland
State Department of Education (MSDE).
Contact Ms. Leigh Rutter 410-767-0408 or visit their website: www.marylandpublicschools.org/MSDE/nonpublicschools/NP_Overview
There are many organizations in Maryland that
support Home Schoolers. Two of the largest groups are:
- Maryland Home Education Association (MHEA): Contact
Mr. Manfred Smith 410-730-0073
- Christian Home Education Network, Inc. (CHEN): Contact
CHEN at www.chenmd.org
Parents frequently request information regarding the curriculum
and how to construct a Home Schooling program for their child.
You may wish to consult the Baltimore County Library Website
( www.bcplonline.org)
for additional Home Schooling information. First, click on
the link entitled "Find It on the Web." Then, click
on the link "Homework and Education." The Essential
Curriculum Parent Summaries, which describe the BCPS' curriculum
for students grades K-12, can be accessed by clicking on "BCPS
Online: Essential Curriculum. Please be advised that as a
Home Schooling parent you can receive a "Teacher Loan"
library card. You must provide the most recent Home Schooling
letter sent from my office to your county library.
If my office can be of further assistance, please call 410-887-2896.
Thank you for your interest, and best wishes for a successful
year.
