Attendance, service, participation guidelines
ESA is limited to home school students; this is the only limitation we have. Anyone who is interested may apply for a chapter. Support groups, co-ops, church groups, or other interested parties may apply for a charter. Individual chapters do have the right to establish their own membership guidelines to be compatible with the organization that sponsors it. We are friendly to people of all faiths and political persuasions! We do reserve the right to locate chapters so that they do not compete with one another for students.
Homeschool Eligibility - Only those students who meet the HSLDA definition of a home schooler are eligible for ESA membership. This rule states that a student must complete 50% of his/her studies at home under the direct supervision of the parent. Co-op programs, group classes, and even community college courses are acceptable as long as the 50% rule is followed. Students enrolled in public school programs, charter school programs, full-time college programs, or other programs where more than 50% of the school time is spent in the supervision of a school setting or where the public school receives 50% funding for the student's attendance or where the public school system, umbrella school, on-line school assigns the grades without parent participation, are not eligible for ESA membership. (See HSLDA's webpage at www.hslda.org for more information.)
