Homeschool PE in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's evaluator reviews your portfolio annually. Include PE logs, activity descriptions, and any skill assessments to demonstrate thorough physical education.
These figures come from our state requirements registry, which names 24 P.S. § 13-1327.1 (Home Education Program) for Pennsylvania. 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 Pennsylvania, open it in the checker, or read how we source this. This is a homeschool PE reference, not legal advice.
