Home School

Welcome Homeschool Parents

The Binghamton, Chenango Forks, Chenango Valley, Deposit, Harpursville, Johnson City, Maine-Endwell, Union-Endicott, Vestal, Whitney Point and Windsor school districts have contracted with Broome-Tioga BOCES to collect and review all documentation related to home schooling. If you wish to instruct your child at home and you live in one of these listed school districts, this website will provide you with current information on homeschooling – including the required forms and other valuable parent resources.

We have created the forms/information to help you through the homeschooling process. As always, you are welcome to use these forms but are not required to do so. Please reference the NYSED regulations on homeschooling for reporting requirements. It is our goal to be of service to the districts and to the homeschool community. Please call our office if you would like to talk to us directly or to schedule an appointment to discuss homeschooling questions in person.
