You may choose to read a copy of the PA Home Education Law by clicking this link. We
have written a Guide to home education in Pennsylvania which is available in PDF format by going to www.catholichomeschoolpa.org/freeguide.pdf.
This Guide is in Q&A format covering a variety of topics and may be
printed off on your own computer and is made available free of charge. You are
welcome to suggest additional questions to be added to the Guide in the
future.
All parents considering home education and all veteran
homeschool parents should be familiar with the actual content of the law and
should read it at least once or twice a year. It is not difficult to read.
Reading this web page does not constitute legal advice nor does it replace
reading the law itself.
