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
