While New Jersey is one of the least restrictive states in the U.S. in regards to homeschooling, ensuring the following is key:
- children between ages 6 and 16 must receive instruction
- instruction should be academically “equivalent” to what they would receive at school
The best way to stay on top of changes in homeschool regulations is to connect with other local homeschoolers in New Jersey.
