Sancta Familia Academy At Home School Year 2008-2009 Home Learning & Extension Services
(2)Students learning at home may opt to be part of a private school ("umbrella" or "cover" school) rather than register in a home education program with the school board. A non-traditional private school can offer a wide range of services, primarily record keeping, report cards, and official transcripts, but may include curriculum guides, lesson plans, or even correspondence courses and textbooks.
Sancta Familia Academy offers a private school enrollment option for students learning at home under the guidance and direction of their parents. The private school enrollment option is for students who choose not to register in a home education program pursuant to Florida statute 1002.41, but choose rather to enroll in a private school in the state of Florida. In addition to all membership benefits, enrolled students receive record keeping services including a cumulative file, report cards, and official transcripts. FL s. 1003.01 (13) choice (c)

Home School Support Network

Home Educators who register their children with the county superintendent in a home education program in compliance with Florida Statute 1002.41 do not register for enrollment with a private school. However, Sancta Familia Academy offers a "membership only" option for home education students so that they may take advantage of our educational services, including co-op classes, and be a member of our educational community.FL s. 1003.01 (13) choice (d)

The Home Education Foundation - Laws FL had an Educational Rewrite, and all these numbers, and some verbage, changed. It is much easier to access home ed. related statutes, because their links are all listed at the end of the general statute (formerly 232.0201 - now 1002.41) Home Education Foundation.
