Frequently asked questions
Is homeschooling with an online school legal in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts requires prior approval of a home education plan by the local school committee or superintendent, usually renewed each year. Districts may ask for a curriculum outline and a way to evaluate progress, such as standardized testing, progress reports or a portfolio. Smartious provides the teaching, marked work and reports; your Massachusetts paperwork stays between your family and the state or district, and we can supply course outlines and records for it.
Will my Massachusetts district approve a Smartious programme?
Districts approve plans, not providers, and we cannot promise a decision. What we give you is what approvals ask for: course outlines, hours, the teaching approach and a way to evaluate progress through marked work and term reports.
