1. Is it Legal?

YES! In all 50 states of the USA, homeschooling is legal! Each state has their own laws, HERE are the state of TN homeschooling laws. This link explains the three types of homeschooling in Tennessee: Independent Home School, Church-Related Umbrella School & Accredited Online School.

2. Am I Qualified?

All you need is a High School Diploma or GED to legally home school your children in the state of Tennessee.

3. What about Socialization?

This is where MHS can help on so many levels! Our tutorial classes and community organized clubs, field trips and events are the perfect solution for socialization, education and building relationships for homeschooling students and their families. At MHS we bridge the gap between homeschooling and public/private school by organizing events such as our Semester Showcases at the end of each semester where children in our music and theater classes perform and children in our other classes create projects to put on display for family and friends to enjoy.
