In the majority of states, the parents or tutors are required to write a letter of intent to their local public school and even take part in several preparation lessons which help them get started on the right track.

Your child/pupil may be required to take several tests supervised by qualified teachers on an annual basis, but this only applies in some states and it’s not mandatory, only recommended.
It is better to be safe and take these tests as they will give you better general understanding of your child’s/pupil’s level of preparation.

A good idea would be to find a local homeschooling community in your area and seek guidance, as there can be no better help than that of experienced multi-age home schooling families.
