Georgia Homeschool Law - HSLDA

“Are you considering homeschooling your child? You can do it! As you get started, it’s important to make sure you comply with the education laws where you live. There are several requirements for legally homeschooling under Georgia’s homeschool law.”

File your declaration of intent to homeschool

As a homeschooling parent, your Declaration of Intent needs to be filed yearly with the Georgia Department of Education. HomeschoolCompliance is the resource we recommend to help you keep track of attendance and file your DOI. Their system electronically submits all necessary documents directly to the DOE. All records are archived for twelve years and they send monthly reminders to help you stay on track. The cost is less than $2 per month. You can print a Teacher ID card for over 140 vendors.
