A 231 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes the "Homeschool Parent's Bill of Rights."

This New Jersey bill, titled the "Homeschool Parent’s Bill of Rights," affirms that parents or guardians have the fundamental right to direct their child’s education at home without government interference. It specifically grants homeschooling parents the right to design individualized curricula based on their child’s needs, choose instructors, explore topics of interest, maintain sole authority over curriculum, and set teaching pace and methods. The law takes immediate effect and applies directly to all homeschooling families in New Jersey, removing any requirement for state oversight of their educational choices. It does not mandate new government actions but declares parental control as a protected right.
