Tennessee Church Related Schools for Homeschoolers

Welcome to homeschooling in Tennessee! Tennessee has three ways you can homeschool. You have the option of being (1) an independent homeschooler (registered with the state), or (2) registered with a Church-Related School or (3) registered as a satellite school of a Church-Related School (The Jeter Memo.) As a result, the number of days and hours to be taught would depend on where you are registered (State=4 hours*180 days). Kay Brooks, TnHomeEd, is one of several good contacts about homeschooling in Tennessee. Others are in the links below. [Note: you may contact Kay about Tennessee Homeschooling concerns. Contact Ann Zeise, the webmaster, about general homeschooling concerns through the "Contact" link at the bottom of this page.]
