These figures come from our state requirements registry, which names VA Code § 22.1-254.1 for Virginia. 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 Virginia, open it in the checker, or read how we source this. This is a homeschool PE reference, not legal advice.

How Spatrian Helps Virginia Families

  • Documents PE even though the state does not mandate it, which is what a transcript and a college application read
  • Converts hours to credit at the state's own 140 hours per credit
  • Issues a transcript with a fingerprint an evaluator can check at spatrian.com/verify without an account
  • Names the documents and deadlines it holds for the state, and says where it holds none
