*Homeschool law TCA 49-6-3050 states, "A "home school" is a school conducted or directed by a parent or parents or a legal guardian or guardians for their own children". Therefore a parent or guardian not only must be PRESENT during Homeschooling hours, but also be conducting or directing the education of their child.
Homeschool families are expected to comply with laws of the State of Tennessee concerning homeschooling. A copy of applicable statutes may be viewed at www.hslda.org. It is recommended that all homeschooling parents read the legislation carefully. TKAHU does not assume any legal responsibility for a family home school. The King’s Academy further recommends that homeschool families join the Home School Legal Defense Association.
