VIRGINIA HOMESCHOOL LAWS/REGULATIONS, TESTING & RELATED NEWS

Homeschool-related laws and regulations change from time to time and the following organizations not only keep up with legal issues related to home education, but they also actively work to promote and protect home education and home educating families in our state.

Due to the important and specific nature of legal matters, LynchburgHomeschool.com does not offer this information and refers local families to organizations who are most current and familiar with the legal issues home educating families need to understand:

Home Educators Association of Virginia (HEAV)
Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA)
The Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers (VaHomeschoolers)

STANDARDIZED TESTING & EVALUATION

While home educators can proctor (conduct & supervise) standardized tests for their children, some prefer to utilize other qualified ‘testers’ to proctor their children’s standardized testing. Also, some parents prefer other forms of evaluation and assessment.

We are currently (as of August 21, 2013) compiling a listing of local individuals who offer testing and evaluation services and will add names and contact information here as further information becomes known.
