Delaware is a low-regulation state. The annual DDOE online enrollment (by September 30) and attendance (by July 31) reports are the primary compliance requirements. No testing, no teacher qualifications, no mandatory subjects for Options 1 and 2. The Delaware Home Education Association (DHEA) is a key community resource. Compulsory ages: 5–16.
File your notice on time: "Annual enrollment report submitted via DDOE online account by September 30. Annual attendance report submitted via DDOE online form by July 31.". Set a calendar reminder 2 weeks before to prepare documents.
No formal assessment is required in Delaware. Consider voluntary portfolio tracking to document your child's progress for college applications.
Join a local Delaware homeschool co-op or support group. Peer connections help with curriculum sharing, field trips, and social opportunities for your learner.
