Sure, you've got friends elsewhere in the country who brag that all they've got to do to homeschool in their state is sign a paper, and they're home free for the duration. Or they've got the best charter and magnet schools in the world. Or their private schools rock. Chances are they're also cold and stuck in their houses all winter, so it's the least their state could do for them.

Florida, on the other hand, is a culturally and environmentally rich and diverse state. You can see the world from Florida, follow the history of the entire United States and much of North America from Florida, and see some of the most incredible habitats and wildlife found anywhere on earth, right in your own backyard! Here are a few Florida resources to help enrich your LIFE.

And in the following pages, you'll find a brief overview of current educational choice offerings in Florida.. Please note that educational options vary by county, and that transportation is not always provided. You should check with your school district to learn about individual district policies and choice availability, and be sure to explore our Educational Choice Resources to be fully educated and informed about each choice. Or you can go right to our LIFE in Florida Resources Guide.
