What are the Texas state requirements to home school?
To home school legally in Texas, you must follow three state law requirements:
- The instruction must be bonafide (i.e., not a sham).
- The curriculum must be in visual form (e.g., books, workbooks, video monitor).
- The curriculum must include the five basic subjects of reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship.
What are the graduation requirements?
Other than the above-listed Texas state requirements, the curriculum choices and graduation requirements are at the parent’s discretion. However, the Texas Education Association website can provide you with specific recommendations. If your child is college bound, it is suggested that you follow these recommendations.

Study hall will be provided for students that have a class before and after the study hall. At this time it is a free service that we are providing for students waiting to take their next class. If there is more than one class period between chosen classes, the student must be picked up. Students must sign up for study hall during orientation and put the times of their before and after classes on the form. Please note that study hall is only for students in 7th-12th grades. Students younger need approval from a director.
