NJ Homeschool Laws

Submitted by Administrator on Sun, 05/17/2009 - 7:03pm.

If you are new to homeschooling, you will certainly have questions about NJ State Law on homeschooling.  The analysis offered by the lawyers at the Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) will answer them all.  Read their Legal Analysis of NJ Homeschool Laws.

In order to understand what is "academically equivalent" as described in the Legal Analysis (above), you may refer to the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards on the NJ Department of Education's website.

Additionally, you may wish to also review the NJ Department of Education's Frequently Asked Questions about Homeschooling.

To protect your rights as a homeschooler, consider becoming a member of HSLDA.  For additional information on HSLDA and the benefits awarded to you as a member, refer to our Resource page's Support Organizations page.

Leadership Faith Statement

The Holy Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God. It contains His completed and final revelation to man. We do not endorse or encourage the use of any teaching that conflicts with what is contained in it. The Holy Bible in its original form is without error in its entirety. The Word of God has been and will remain the ultimate authority as we seek His wisdom in representing His group in a way that honors and magnifies the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Mission Statement

Living Water Home Educators is composed of homeschool families in Burlington County, NJ and surrounding areas who come together to support one another. Each family that homeschools is an independent, private school that has the freedom to install the beliefs and values that we, the parents, feel are most important to our children. Since this group is not affiliated with any one particular church, we feel it is important for you to know where the leadership of this group stands so that you can feel comfortable participating in the activities and events we offer.

Activities Disclaimer

Please be advised that any activities that are advertised in the Living Water Weekly eNews or website may not necessarily be activities that conform to Living Water's Faith Statement (see above). Members should not make any assumptions about the teachings or content that may be provided at these activities and should exercise due diligence before deciding to participate. These include activities that are considered as "outside interest" as well as those activities (including field trips) that are organized exclusively for Living Water members.
