Philothea Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Pros, cons? Other thoughts. We're considering re-locating to S. NH. The homeschooling scene and issues in the state are a factor influecing our decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It's been a while since we HS'd in NH as we moved in 2003, but at the time it was fairly easy. You need to submit a letter of intent before the school year with a list of the curriculum you plan to use. At the year's end you either do a standarized test or portflio evaluation by a certified teacher. I am curious what part of S-NH you are looking at? We lived in New Ipswich.

Happy Camper Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I just PM'd you. Basically, it's what Quiver said, but even easier now that we no longer need to provide a list of curriculum at the beginning of the year. Feel free to PM me back for more info.

Philothea Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 We are kind of looking into whatever area we cane get the right sized house. I'm thinking probably one of the closer border towns off of 93, DH is going to keep his job in MA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer in NH Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 it is super easy. We give a letter to intent to either the Seperintendent in our school district or to a principal of a private school. all they need is the name, age and address of the child and you. Then at the end of the year you either provide a portfolio to a qualified evaluator or you have the child take a standardized test. Personally, i find it easier to order the CAT exam from Seton. I administer it myself. When I get the results I send a copy into the Superintendent. We now have to do this from age 6-18. Housing prices are cheaper here too!;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philothea Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 We're going to rent until we get more of our debt paid down. There's no way we could afford at the current prices, but they are cheaper in NH! I'm so glad to know that I would not have to file until next year. I could definately do the CAT test! I was feeling a little overwhelmed about it, but this clears up one roadblock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
