Your State-to-Schedule Blueprint

What Is Required

New Jersey requires equivalent instruction elsewhere for compulsory-age children but generally does not require a statewide notice, curriculum approval, teacher certification, or standardized testing. A written withdrawal/intent record is prudent when leaving school, and a district may seek documentation only in circumstances described by official guidance. The companion supplies a complete 36-week curriculum, attendance, work portfolio, progress report, and optional notice without presenting it as mandatory state approval.

Tier 3 State Companion: Editable, parent-reviewable 36-week Curriculum Summary Draft with student and grade/year details, parent and instructor fields, four nine-week review/report dates, and subject-by-subject scope, sequence, objectives, resources, methods, and progress evidence. It also adds equivalent-instruction summary and withdrawal record, labeled as family records because no routine state homeschool filing is required. Parent review and submission remain required.
