Homeschooling in Delaware? Delaware asks for a simple annual enrollment count — no testing, no teacher credential required. The real work is carrying every subject yourself, and that’s what Get Classically Educated was built to solve. Live, expert-led classical classes carry the teaching load, so your child gets a rigorous education and your family keeps its time — on just four hours a week.

Is Homeschooling Legal in Delaware?
Not legal advice. Get Classically Educated is an education provider — not a law firm or legal counsel. This is a plain-English summary for general information only; homeschool laws change and can vary by district, so always confirm current requirements with your state before you begin.
Yes. Delaware offers a few paths; the most common is the single-family homeschool. Here’s what the state asks:
- Report enrollment annually. Submit a statement of pupil enrollment by September 30, based on enrollment as of the last school day in September.
- Report end-of-year attendance by July 31 each year.
- No teacher qualifications and no standardized testing are required for any homeschool option.
A separate option lets you coordinate directly with your local school district, which involves the superintendent confirming your instruction matches public-school subjects — most families choose the simpler single-family route instead.
What Delaware Requires You to Teach
Not legal advice. The subjects and rules described here are general information. Get Classically Educated is an education provider, not a law firm or legal counsel — confirm requirements with your state.
The basic single-family homeschool option comes with no mandated subject list — real curricular freedom. That’s where Get Classically Educated fits perfectly: we deliver a full classical education — great books, writing, logic, rhetoric, history, and civics — plus science, research, and hands-on experiments. The one subject we intentionally leave to you is mathematics, so you can pair GCE with whatever math curriculum fits your child. Because our program runs only about four hours of live class a week, you’ll have plenty of room to add math.

Delaware gives you the freedom to homeschool. We give you a way to do it well without losing your life to it. That promise has a name: 4 Hours to Freedom.

What sets the program apart:
- Live, expert-led classes. Real teachers, real discussion — not videos your child watches alone.
- A true classical education. The trivium — grammar, logic, and rhetoric — taught through great books, writing, and Socratic discussion, so your child learns to think, not just memorize.
- Science, research, and experiments built in. The base program trades rote math drills for hands-on science and real research skills.
- Grades 3 through 12, one continuous journey. A coherent, rigorous path from the elementary years to graduation.
- One flat tuition. $1,200 per year for the full-year base program — no per-course surprises.
