The Pennsylvania homeschool law has a bad (but fair) reputation for being demanding and burdensome.
I agree that the PA homeschool law is an unnecessary nuisance and doesn’t add value to the quality of education of homeschooled students. I also believe that the requirements can be met without worry if you keep things simple and straightforward.
To show you how quickly you can file the initial paperwork once you understand the requirements, I recorded a short video showing you how to prepare an affidavit to begin homeschooling legally in Pennsylvania.
Although the video is about 10 minutes long, commentary and a little explanation takes up more than half of that time.
If you’re just beginning to research homeschooling in Pennsylvania, I recommend the series of video tutorials I created to explain the law and guide parents step-by-step through the legal filing requirements, soup to nuts. You can purchase all 4 modules of the course or purchase each module individually.
