Thinking about homeschooling in Florida—or already homeschooling and feeling unsure about the legal requirements, PEP Scholarship, or portfolio evaluations? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

In this video, I walk you through how to homeschool legally in Florida, step-by-step, in a clear and practical way. I share trusted links, explain the Florida homeschool laws, and help you understand how to confidently manage the PEP Scholarship, student portfolios, and annual evaluations.

In this video, you’ll learn:

How to legally homeschool in Florida
What the PEP Scholarship is and how it works
What a Florida homeschool portfolio should include
How to organize your records with confidence
Where to find trusted resources and helpful playlists
What to expect during a homeschool portfolio evaluation
How my consultations work and who they’re best suited for

I also explain my homeschool consultation services and Florida portfolio evaluations, including pricing, so you can decide if working together is the right fit for your family.

As a homeschool evaluator and choice navigator for Florida, I support families locally and virtually—whether you’re just starting out, transitioning from public or private school, or homeschooling a child with learning differences.
