Home Education Program. Fact Sheet
Overview & Synopsis
Florida is a long-time supporter of home education, and the number of families choosing this education option shows steady growth. Established by the Legislature as a school choice option in 1985, home education is defined as "the sequentially progressive instruction of a student directed by his or her parent." Each year, the Florida Department of Education surveys all school districts to determine the number of students and families who have registered their intent to establish home education programs. For the 2024-25 school year, the numbers provided by the districts indicated that 114,370 families and 152,871 students participated in home education programs. This fact sheet presents an overview of establishing a home education program.
