Homeschooling

In accordance with the district’s Policy regarding Home Instruction (Voted 9/24/91, #91-353; 12/17/91, #91-441; 11/29/18, #102), parents/guardians are required to register their student through the Office of Registration and Enrollment. To verify residency as part of the registration process, a parent/guardian will meet with a designee from the Office of Registration and Enrollment. The Office of Teaching and Learning will review Home Education Plans for students who are currently residing in Brookline.   

Once the student is registered and residency is verified, a parent or guardian must complete and submit the Notice of Intent to Pursue a Program of Home Education Form. The development of the Home Education Plan is the sole responsibility of the parent/guardians. Completed forms should be sent to:

Public Schools of Brookline  
Office of Teaching and Learning
333 Washington Street, Fifth Floor
Brookline, MA 02445 

The Office of Teaching and Learning will send an approval letter to inform families that their Plan has meet the requirements set forth by the Brookline School Committee.  

At the close of the Home Education Plan (typically June), the parent/guardian will provide evidence of student progress to the Office of Teaching and Learning. This can include journals, daily logs, portfolio, dated student work, or other method of assessment.
