Hawaii Homeschooling

Hawaii homeschooling is a very attractive thing for Military families who want their kids to get ahead faster or work at their own pace. There are some rules in every state and lots of support groups and conferences across Oahu. 

Per Hawaii DOE, Homeschooling in Hawaii requires you to register with the local public school in your area, a "notice of intent" that you will homeschool through a FORM 4140.

FORM 4140 http://www.hawaiipublicschools.org/DOE%20Forms/Enrollment/Exceptions4140.pdf

This notice of intent acknowledges, the parent's intent to home school and allows the DOE to assist parents in their educational efforts. In addition, families are required to notify the principal if the homeschooling program is terminated or if another educational program is initiated.
