Compulsory School Age
Children in New Hampshire between ages six years to eighteen years must attend school.
Homeschooling Choices
The schooling options available in New Hampshire are:
  • Public school
  • Non-public school
  • Private school
  • Homeschool
Formally Withdrawing From Public School
Overall, you can start homeschooling your child right away by filing a notice to a participating agency, for example, the commissioner of education or public school superintendent. However, if your child is already enrolled in a school and you intend to start homeschooling during the academic year, it is compulsory to formally withdraw the child from school by notifying your school in writing.

You can also withdraw the child admission at the end of the current academic year. Make sure to complete the withdrawal before the beginning of the next academic year. All public and non-public schools will have particular forms or withdraw procedures to follow. Contact your school.
Curriculum
Value​The State of New Hampshire requires students to study subjects in the following areas per age, class, and educational progress:
  • Health
  • Science
  • Mathematics
  • Government
  • Economics
  • History
  • Language
  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Spelling
Recordkeeping
Recordkeeping is important even if it’s not necessary for your state. Make sure to compile a homeschool program with adequate tests, assessments, quizzes, projects, and assignments to keep your child engaged with the study. Also, keep a record of all the instructional activities. These record may contain attendance sheet, instructional hours, textbooks, workbooks, test results, correspondence with school officials, and anything related to the program.  
Testing
The New Hampshire Education Department does not require homeschooled students to take any standardized tests. However, it is recommended to evaluate the child’s progress time-by-time by taking certain tests – specifically set by the parents/guardians. You can also hire a certified teacher to test your child’s progress against the prescribed curriculum.    
Certificate of Completion
If you intend to graduate your child in your homeschooling program, it is necessary to submit a letter of completion to the New Hampshire Education Department that your child has completed the homeschooling program at the high-school level. The letter of completion must contain the following information to exclude any future problems:
  • Name, address, and date of birth of the child
  • Name, address, and other basic info of the parents/guardians
  • Duration of the homeschool program
  • The contact number of the parent/guardian
  • Signature of the parent/guardian
Note that homeschooled children aren’t required or provided with a secondary school certification.
To see this information in more detail, visit the New Hampshire State website.
