Do New York families need to file paperwork to switch to online high school?
It depends on which path you take. If you enroll a student in an accredited non-public high school like High School of America, the school becomes the student’s school of record — no Letter of Intent, no IHIP, no quarterly reports, no annual assessment.
Those state requirements apply when a family chooses to homeschool independently. With an accredited online school, you are enrolled, not homeschooling — and the compliance is on us.
