New Hampshire homeschool letters

The letters a family sends, addressed and ready to print. Nothing you type is saved or sent.

New Hampshire asks for no notice on the route described on its page: No declaration of home education is required, except to get access to public school programs under RSA 193:1-c or when withdrawing from a public school. You may still want the letter to the school your child is leaving, below.

Checked October 27, 2026. Information, not legal advice: New Hampshire's statute and education department are the final word.
