Homeschooling in Delaware

Delaware takes a hands-off approach to homeschool regulation. While the state does require some basic paperwork, the overall burden is light. This gives families plenty of room to follow a child-led Montessori approach without jumping through excessive bureaucratic hoops.

To begin homeschooling in Delaware, you must file a notice of intent with the Delaware Department of Education by before september 30 or within 21 days of beginning. Enroll with a recognized homeschool association (such as Tri-State, Cape Henlopen, or Sussex County) or file directly with the DOE.

The state requires instruction in specific subjects including English language arts, Mathematics, Social studies, Science. Our 100% online Montessori Homeschool platform covers all of these through 8,100+ structured daily lessons that integrate practical life, sensorial exploration, language, mathematics, science, geography, and cultural studies — the hallmarks of an authentic Montessori education.

Attendance tracking is required in Delaware: 180 days per year. With Montessori Homeschool, every lesson is timestamped and logged automatically, making it simple to demonstrate compliance at year-end or during any review.

The Montessori approach is a natural fit for homeschooling in Delaware. Rather than rigid textbook learning, children work with hands-on materials at their own pace — developing concentration, independence, and a genuine love of learning. Montessori Homeschool brings this approach into your home with a 100% online platform featuring daily lesson plans, printable materials, parent guides, and built-in compliance tools designed specifically for Delaware families.
