Reply #60: It is statewide [View All]

Access to extracurriculars, special ed services, gifted services, FLVS, dual enrollment, etc., is available to FL homeschoolers using the HEP option (letter of intent to the county, etc).

Everything depends on what is available at your local school, how much you want to work your schedule around the ps schedule, the age of your child (some things available to high schoolers & middle schoolers not available to elem schoolers), etc.

There is also a private school option available to hsers in FL -- aka umbrella schools. Most of the same access is available when using this option.

And, yes, the virtual school option is available too. You can retain your legal status as a homeschooler and use FLVS (www.flvs.net) or technically enroll in public school and use K12 or Connections to homeschool.

Each state has different laws. A place to check yours: www.NHEN.org.
