Homeschool: (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=1000-1099/1002/Sections/1002.01.html ) Parents must provide one-time notice to the local superintendent (
LETTER OF INTENT: https://fpea.com/sites/fpea.com/files/page/file_attachment/LOI%20-%202019.pdf), maintain a portfolio of their children’s work, and have their children assessed annually (by standardized test or portfolio evaluation). There are no parent qualification, hours of instruction, or subject requirements. The assessments must be turned in to the local superintendent; if students are not making suitable educational progress parents will have a year to correct deficiencies.
Private School/Umbrella/600: (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=1002.42&URL=1000-1099/1002/Sections/1002.42.html ) Parents may enroll their children in a private school created to serve as a homeschool “umbrella” school.

There are no notification (unless previously enrolled elsewhere- Notice of Termination: https://fpea.com/sites/fpea.com/files/page/file_attachment/Termination%20Letter_0.pdf) parent qualification, subject, or assessment requirements unless specified by the private School.
Private tutor: (https://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/1002.43 ) Parents with teaching certificates may homeschool under the private tutor option. Parents must provide 180 days of instruction and maintain basic records, but there are no notification, subject, or assessment requirements.
