Brevard Public Schools

Philosophy
Brevard Public Schools recognizes and respects a parent’s right to choose Home Education as a valid option for the educational requirements of their child(ren).  We seek to maintain a positive relationship with parents choosing the Home Education option through mutual understanding and effective communication. 

Overview
A Home Education Program, as defined in section 1002.01, Florida Statutes, is the sequentially progressive instruction of a student directed by his/her parent(s) or guardian in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 1002.41, 1003.01(4), and 1003.21(1).  Home Education allows the freedom to explore and to learn at the pace of the individual student.  Parents who provide instruction to their children at home are requested and encouraged to read carefully and comply with all of the state statutes and regulations governing the operation of a Home Education Program.  Link for Home Education State Statutes: Florida Statute and Administrative Code 

The parent/guardian who assumes responsibility for educating a child at home also has the responsibility for providing curriculum, education material, and evaluations necessary to determine student progress.  The school system does not supply texts, curriculum guides, education standards, or diplomas for the home educated student.
