ACADEMICS / ALTERNATIVE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

While some parents are interested in home schooling, others prefer non-public or private education in parochial or independent schools. The Bureau of Family & Community Outreach offers information on home education that includes Florida statutes and district contacts. The Independent Education and Parental Choice office provides information and resources on Florida’s non-public schools, including general requirements, accreditation, and the directory of non-public schools:
