Maryland New Family Inquiries





TEA is open to all Maryland residents regardless of homeschool philosophy or religious affiliation.

Please fully review our services and options before sending the information requested below and we will contact you to discuss enrollment. Inquires for enrollment will not be responded to without this information. Enrollment is a selective process and openings are limited.

All newly-enrolling families must select either Option I or II for at least their first year. Enrollment is on a rolling basis and closes once full. In addition to the enrollment fee, there is a one-time registration fee of $100 the first year a family enrolls.

Priority Deadline: Enrollment reports are submitted to the counties in August, making August 1st the preferred enrollment postmark date. Enrollments received after that date are reported to the county boards of education in subsequent enrollment reports.
