Connecticut Law and Policy

In Connecticut there are two things homeschoolers need to understand; the law, and the Guidelines. The two sometimes cause confusion for people, and sometimes the Guidelines are mistaken for being law. But they are not law. The Guidelines are part of the Suggested Procedure on Home Instruction in Connecticut.

Please be sure to read and understand the law and Guidelines. If you need further assistance, contact any support group leader; they can direct you accordingly. There are also several attorneys who support homeschooling, some of whom provide their own websites with free information.
