It seems simple, but it is good to have a notion of what more or less awaits us. It will be a complex process, but very rewarding. In our case, with the pandemic we decided to take our daughter out of the kindergarten where she was enrolled (when it all started) and as her stay at home went so well, we decided to move on to homeschooling. It was hard work, but well worth it!

Regarding the  educational officer. According to the legislation, only a holder of a bachelor’s degree, who is a family member or lives with the child, can be responsible for education. There is also the possibility of hiring a teacher, making it individual teaching.

🧭 Need help navigating all of this? I offer personalized homeschooling consultations to help you understand the legal requirements, choose the right path for your family, and get all your documentation in order. Whether you’re just starting or already knee-deep in paperwork, I can help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Learn more here.

At this stage, the application is delivered to the school principal. Along with the application, you must include details about the home education plan, the educator’s qualifications certificate, and other documents required by the school.

The school Principal has 15 working days (for homeschooling) or 10 working days (for individual homeschooling) to answer.

📌 Keeping track of all these documents is crucial!
To simplify this process, I highly recommend using a planner to organize enrollment details, lesson plans, and progress tracking. That’s why I created the Homeschool Planner 2024/2025—designed to help homeschooling parents stay on top of everything!

✔ Use it to:
–  Plan lessons and track academic progress
– Organize your homeschooling schedule efficiently

The school will ask the home educator for an Educational Project. I delivered my daughter’s project before signing the Collaboration Protocol.

I will leave a copy, similar to the one I made for my daughter, for anyone who needs to have an idea of what it is about.

When we received the notification of approval, a draft protocol was sent to us. We must read very carefully, because it is an agreement with clauses that must be fulfilled. Both by the school and by the parent. If there is something we do not agree with, it is advisable to negotiate with the school. The protocol must be signed by the parties (school principal and parent).

Important note:
With the new legislation, it is clear that students enrolled in homeschooling (through public schools) are entitled to:

– the gratuitousness and reuse of school books – adopted by the school;
– to the school social support;
– to curriculum enrichment activities.

The student and the parent will be introduced to the Classroom Teacher and the process of home/individual schooling begins.
