Under Connecticut State Statute 10-184, a parent may remove a child from public school for purposes of homeschooling if "the parent or person having control of such child is able to show that the child is elsewhere receiving equivalent instruction in the studies taught in the public schools". These subjects include reading, writing, spelling, English grammar, geography, arithmetic and United States history and in citizenship, including a study of the town, state and federal governments.
As someone who homeschools, it is your responsibility to select a method, program, and/or curriculum that ensures your student receives a quality education. While the New Britain Board of Education does not look at plans, programs, and/or curriculum for quality and effectiveness, we are able to provide you with resources that may assist you with home instruction.
