Notice or filing
Based on sources reviewed on 2026-04-17, New York families should verify whether a notice, private school affidavit, or local filing is required before starting.
Because state pathways and local filing practice can vary, verify the exact route and filing step with the linked authority before acting.
Withdrawal from current school
If the student is already enrolled, confirm the local withdrawal process before the first homeschool day so attendance records do not show an unexplained absence.
Compulsory attendance age
Age can change whether compulsory attendance rules apply. Verify the current attendance age range with the linked authority.
Parent or instructor qualifications
Confirm whether the selected pathway has parent, tutor, umbrella school, or instructor qualification conditions.
