Thank you for choosing PIE as your Third Option Homeschool Association.
As a member of PIE, the home-school family enjoys the security of a legal covering while being given the freedom to choose and implement an educational program that best fits their child’s needs. PIE was established in 1996 out of the belief that education should be affordable and non-intrusive.
PIE's School Year Calendar
PIE’s school year follows a 365-day calendar, offering the flexibility that makes homeschooling unique. Below is a set of key dates you can use as a guide for planning your school year. While your exact dates may vary, they should fall within the time frame outlined here. This is especially important for high school students who want to take advantage of services and resources available through the state.
Every year, we update the same list using the same recurring dates.
