Home Education

Families in North Ridgeville City Schools (NRCS) may choose to educate their children at home. Ohio law requires a simple annual notification to the Superintendent. 

Important Note: Home schooling is NOT Virtual/Online learning. Parent(s)/guardian(s) choosing to homeschool their student(s) assume complete responsibility for determining, designing, and delivering educational instruction to their student(s). This includes choosing educational materials, delivery format, start/stop times for the school day, etc. Virtual/Online learning is a structured learning environment designed and delivered by accredited educational institutions and certificated teachers.

We respect family choice. NRCS does not approve or evaluate home education; we record your notification and offer optional supports.

 

What Ohio Law Requires

  • Submit an annual notification to the Superintendent by August 30 or within 5 days of starting home education or moving into NRCS.
  • Completing the online notification form is voluntary. Parent(s)/guardian(s) who wish to submit their Notification Letter via email or US Postal Service may continue to do so by emailing heathermiller@nrcs.net or mailing the Notification Letter to 34620 Bainbridge Road North Ridgeville, OH 44039.
  • Your notification affirms you will teach: English language arts, mathematics, science, history, government, and social studies.
  • NRCS does not require curriculum materials, portfolios, or annual assessments, however this information is extremely helpful to include (especially if you plan to re-enroll later).
  • Within 14 calendar days, NRCS will send a written acknowledgment of receipt.
    *NRCS does not approve home education; we acknowledge receipt as required by Ohio law.
