Good afternoon, A good friend of mine referred me to Lernsys Homeschooling. She has used for about a year . Is a parent/guardian or person(s) teaching the student elsewhere than at school required to be certified as a teacher in Texas?

Welcome! Homeschooling is legal in Texas, notwithstanding this, you are required to comply with some guidelines before they start to homeschool. Homeschooling in Texas is considered one of the most lenient and straightforward places to homeschool in the United States as it requires little government oversight. Parents in Texas are at liberty to choose many of the elements they deem fit for their students to learn. A parent or guardian teaching their students at home is not required by law to be certified as a teacher in Texas. Yet, using curriculum developed by a state certified teacher is highly recommended even if the certified educator is not a Texas teacher.

The law in Texas provides that homeschoolers should have the following:

· An elaborate instruction for the homeschooler

· A visual curriculum such as an online program, workbooks, etc.

· Spelling, Mathematics, reading, grammar and citizenship as part of the curriculum.

I appreciate the input.

Parents who want to home-school in Texas need to observe certain prerequisites before beginning to homeschool. There are basically just two preconditions to homeschool your kids in Texas. The first condition is to teach the required classes. The second requirement is to study with a written curriculum (online homeschool programs meet this requirement) Overall, we are very happy with the Lernsys program. We love the program!

Thanks a million. I appreciate the reply.

Welcome! There are a few rules required to homeschool in Texas. There are 2 different prerequisites to homeschool in Texas. 1. Teach the required subjects 2. Use a written curriculum (online programs also meet this condition).
