INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — As a resource for potential student-athletes who are educated in a home school and seeking to compete on the intercollegiate level, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) released the organization’s 2023-24 Home School Tool Kit.
What does the NCAA consider “Home Schooling”?
Generally, if a parent/guardian or tutor creates the curriculum, provides instruction, assesses the coursework and/or awards grades and credit, the student is considered to be a home-schooled student-athlete.
Learning at home does not necessarily equate to being home schooled. Because of the tremendous growth of online and virtual education, a student may be able to learn at home through an online school with online teachers, which would not be considered parent/guardian-directed home school.
This tool kits helps to determine whether a student’s schooling is considered “home school” or “nontraditional.” Note, the NCAA definition for nontraditional courses includes courses taken online through a program that provides teachers, assessments and grading.
