HOME SCHOOLING

 

The state of Colorado recognizes that home-based education is a legitimate alternative to classroom attendance for children and that any regulation of nonpublic home-based education programs should be sufficiently flexible to accommodate a variety of circumstances.  You must provide a 14 day written notification explaining your intent to home school to any Colorado public school district office and do so each year thereafter for each year the program is maintained.  You will need to make your school district of residence aware of the district where you have registered to avoid truancy action.  The notification must list the child’s name, age. place of residence and number of hours of attendance of each child enrolled.

Fort Carson Child and Youth Services provide home school support at the Youth Center with access to computer labs a homework center, sports and fitness activities, and art education.  There are also other programs offered, as well as parent support and education.  For information contact Fort Carson School Liaison Services or visit their user-friendly web sites:
