Homeschool PE in Massachusetts
Massachusetts is one of the strictest states. Your superintendent must approve your plan before you begin, and PE must be included. Keep meticulous records.
These figures come from our state requirements registry, which names MA General Laws c.76 §1 for Massachusetts. We hold that citation; nobody has yet checked each figure above against the statute text itself, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Requirements change — confirm with your district before relying on them. See what we hold for Massachusetts, open it in the checker, or read how we source this. This is a homeschool PE reference, not legal advice.
