Homeschooling in Tennessee

Three Hearts Academy partners with parents in their homeschooling journey. However we are not an umbrella school that can hold grades and/or communicate to the state, therefore families must comply with the Tennessee Homeschooling law regarding umbrella school registration (TCA-49.6). Because of this, we are also not able to offer official transcripts or proof of enrollment to meet truancy laws nor can we offer special programs for those with special academic or behavioral needs. Incoming students must be in good standing in the areas of academics, discipline, and attendance and must be registered with an umbrella school in the state of TN. We do not accept students who have been suspended or expelled from prior academic institutions.
Also, TN school districts may still require parents to provide them other evidence that their child is enrolled in an accredited online school. Verify with your school district using the list of TN Home School Coordinators below. Enrolling with Kolbe Academy may still need to submit a completed:
Tennessee Notice of Intent to Home School (click)

Three Hearts Academy partners with Kolbe Academy, a long-standing, accredited Catholic school, and our curriculum choices are approved by them. Therefore, one option for Three Heart families is to sign up with Kolbe Academy for their umbrella school. If you choose Kolbe Academy, they will notify the local school district on behalf of your family. https://www.kolbe.org
