Homeschool World Forum

I've not seen anything to help me on this yet. My husband and I are missionaries currently spending one year here in Pennsylvania on our furlough. I will start homeschooling next year when we move back for our 3 year term in the Philippines. After 3 years, we will come back for one more year in Pennsylvania, then back to the Philippines and so on. So do I have to follow the PA guidelines and write the affadavit of intent to homeschool, and do I have to follow the PA curriculum guidelines? Or do I just go ahead and do what I want during the years in the Philippines and only follow PA laws when in the States? I appreciate any help you can give.

If you're still filing state taxes, you're probably also supposed to fulfill the requirements for homeschooling in that particular state. I doubt anyone will bother enforcing the rules, however, and I can't even tell you for sure that I'm correct here This is confusing.

On the plus side, fulfilling the CA state requirements is rather easy. Annual notification and an "attendance register" are all you need, besides of course covering the same subjects as the CA public schools (English, mathematics, social sciences, science, fine arts, health, physical education if grades 1-6).

Thanks .
