Option 1 — Home Education Program: The most commonly used path. File a notarized affidavit with your superintendent each year, teach the required subjects, and have a certified evaluator review your student's portfolio at year-end. The evaluator certifies sustained progress — this is an independent certified teacher review, not a government evaluation.
Option 2 — Private tutor: Hire a Pennsylvania-certified teacher to provide instruction. Less commonly used, but a valid alternative.
Option 3 — Private school satellite: Enroll under a private school that accepts home-educated students. The school provides oversight and handles compliance.
