How to Homeschool in Vermont

File an enrollment notice with the Agency of Education each year (with a minimum course of study), and submit an annual assessment (teacher report, portfolio, or test) at year end.

Is homeschooling legal in Vermont?

Yes — homeschooling is legal in every U.S. state. Vermont is a moderate-regulation state, meaning you file a notice and keep up one ongoing duty, such as an assessment or portfolio. Children roughly ages 6–16 must be enrolled in school or a legal homeschool.

How to get started

In Vermont, you register through VT AOE home-study enrollment. File the home-study enrollment with the AOE each year and submit the year-end assessment.
