Can you switch from public school to homeschool, and how?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
Yes, in the states Peabody has checked, but the steps depend on your state's law. Some ask for notice to the district or state first, some do not, and some have a form. Each state's law page quotes the rule and links its statute, and the leaving-school guide lists the steps and a sample letter. Do not stop attending before you have read yours.

This is a plain-words summary, not legal advice. Laws change: check your state's current law and its education department before you act.
