Online kindergarten programs in Upper Dublin Township

Pennsylvania does not require kindergarten; attendance is compulsory at six.

Legal homeschooling in Pennsylvania: affidavit or enrollment
Legal homeschooling in upper dublin township pennsylvania runs on one of two pathways, and they are different legal categories. On the independent Home Education Program, a parent files an affidavit with the district each year, keeps a portfolio, arranges an evaluator, and has the student tested in grades 3, 5 and 8. Enrolling in an accredited online or private school is a different category under the same law, and it asks for much less. How homeschool law works where you live puts Pennsylvania beside the other forty-nine states.
Which pathway an Upper Dublin Township family is on
The table below is the state’s own guidance for the independent path. A counselor confirms the pathway before anything is notarized; the accredited home education program explains the enrollment route in plain terms. Call (888) 242-4262 if it is unclear. It usually is, and it takes one call.
| Requirement | What Pennsylvania asks for |
|---|---|
| Affidavit | Notarized affidavit (or sworn declaration) filed with the local superintendent, due August 1 each year |
| Standardized testing | Required in grades 3, 5, and 8, reading/language arts and math. Cannot be administered by the parent |
| Portfolio | Work samples and a reading log, kept through the year |
| Evaluator review | A qualified evaluator reviews the portfolio and certifies it, due to the district by June 30 |
| Instructional time | 180 days, or 900 hours (elementary) / 990 hours (secondary) |
That is what Pennsylvania’s Home Education Program under 24 P.S. § 13-1327.1 asks of a family teaching independently. It is not the only path: Pennsylvania separately recognizes Private Tutoring and enrollment in a licensed private or online school, a different legal category with its own, lighter requirements. Both pathways are described on the Department of Education’s Home Education and Private Tutoring page; a counselor can confirm which one applies once enrollment specifics are worked out.
The supervising parent or guardian’s name, and confirmation of a high school diploma or equivalent.
Each child’s name and age.
The family address and phone number.
Educational objectives by subject area for the coming year.
Notarized, and filed with the superintendent of the district covering Upper Dublin Township, no later than August 1. Keep a copy; it is the record you will need when the year’s portfolio and evaluator certification come due the following June.
This is the independent Home Education Program path. A family enrolling through an accredited private or online school follows that school’s own enrollment process instead, a distinct category under Pennsylvania law with different requirements. A counselor can walk through which applies before anything is filed.
Cost of K12 online education and tuition
Cost of k12 online education for Montgomery County families is given on the first call, by grade level and program track, with a discount for paying in full and a monthly option.

Affordable online homeschool, measured against Upper Dublin Township
Affordable online homeschool, as a question, is really asking what is being compared. An honest comparison of the options sets online, independent homeschool and the district classroom side by side on time, cost and who teaches.
Homeschool for special education: IEP and 504 plans
Homeschool for special education for upper dublin township families ask about carries one question under it: does the plan come along. The honest answer is in two parts, and a counselor gives both on the first call rather than after enrollment.
IEP and 504, in practice
The plan stays with the district that wrote it and the right to an evaluation stays with the child. What crosses over is the family’s knowledge of what works, entered on the first call, and a format that already does several things a plan usually has to ask for: a short lesson, a pause at any point, a retake, and a teacher who reads the work before the next step is set.
What is built in for a Fort Washington student
A short lesson, a pause at any point, a retake, and a teacher who reads the work before the next step is set are the format, not accommodations. Our accredited home education program starts from whatever the previous plan covered, and the specifics are written down for one student, not assumed for a category.

Upper Dublin Township, for the rest of the day
Settled in 1698, Upper Dublin Township’s municipal site lists about forty parks on six hundred acres, the Turnpike and 309 across it, and the Fort Washington Office Park, opened in 1955 as the first modern suburban business park on the East Coast. A township that rearranged the working day seventy years ago is a fair place to rearrange the school day.
Questions Upper Dublin Township families ask first
What does it cost?
Tuition is per grade level and published on the tuition page. The first conversation with a counselor carries no charge, and nothing about it commits you to enrolling.
What happens to my child’s IEP or 504 plan?
An IEP or 504 plan does not automatically travel with a child who leaves a district roll; it belongs to the school that wrote it. What does travel is the federal right under IDEA to request a no-cost evaluation from your local public school district, which applies whether or not your child is enrolled there. Put the request in writing to the district serving Upper Dublin Township and keep the copy. Tell a counselor what the plan covered before you enroll, because the accommodations we can make are a real conversation and not a form.
Does my child need to test at grades 3, 5, and 8?
That requirement applies to Pennsylvania’s independent Home Education Program under § 1327.1. Enrollment through an accredited private or online school like HSOA is a separate legal category with its own requirements, not that one. A counselor can confirm exactly what applies to your enrollment before you file anything.
Will a diploma from an online school be taken seriously?
It is an accredited diploma issued by High School of America, and admissions offices and employers treat it as one. Worth knowing the distinction Pennsylvania draws: a family who files a Home Education Program affidavit and completes the portfolio process satisfies compulsory attendance, but the state does not itself issue a diploma to a child educated that way. Ours is not that, and it is not a GED.
Both parents work at the office park. Does a student need a parent home during lessons?
For high school and most of middle school, no. For kindergarten through about third grade, a parent or caregiver should be in the room, not teaching, but keeping the rhythm; the certified teacher does the teaching. Lessons can be done in the evening when that is when a parent is home, and the grading and the live session do not depend on the hour.
Is there an online kindergarten program, or does it start at first grade?
There is a real online kindergarten. Scheduled hours are short, reading is taught in sequence, and the teacher knows the child by name. Pennsylvania does not require kindergarten; attendance is compulsory at six. It is the first question Upper Dublin Township families ask.
Is the home schooling diploma accepted by colleges?
Yes. It is an accredited high school diploma, not a GED, in the same accreditation category a traditional accredited private school carries. A student aiming at Temple Ambler up the road or anywhere else applies with the same kind of transcript any accredited high school issues.
Does Pennsylvania’s homeschool affidavit apply if we enroll here?
Usually not. The affidavit, the portfolio, the evaluator and the grade 3, 5 and 8 testing belong to Pennsylvania’s independent Home Education Program. Enrollment in an accredited online school is a separate legal category. A counselor confirms which pathway applies before anything is notarized.
What does it cost, and when is the number given?
On the first call, by grade level and program track, with a discount for paying in full and a 4, 6, 8 or 10 month plan. Nothing is charged until a family chooses, and nothing is billed for materials mid-year.
Start with one call
Grade level, what is happening now, what the record shows, and which Pennsylvania pathway applies. If it is the wrong fit for this student, the counselor will say that on the call rather than let a family find out later.
