Quick Answer

Do Pennsylvania families need to file an affidavit to switch to online high school?

Usually, yes. Whether a district treats enrollment in an online private school as school attendance or as home education varies, and families who homeschool under Pennsylvania’s rules file with the state or district and remain responsible for that compliance. High School of America provides structured online coursework, course records, transcript support and academic documentation that families can use for it. Check with your school district before you withdraw, so the paperwork is in place from the first day.
