Umbrella Schools

​ 

There are three routes to legally homeschool in Tennessee. Details about the state legal description of homeschooling options can be found here.  You options include:

  1. Register with your local school district
  2. Register with a church-related umbrella school
  3. Register with an accredited online program


The following is a list of Tennessee church-related or umbrella schools which currently enroll home educated children. We have listed them in alphabetical order. We are grateful that these organizations provide us with this legal option.

Inclusion of a church-related school or umbrella program on this page does not necessarily mean an endorsement by MTHEA. We encourage you to investigate each umbrella program or church-related school your family might be considering to find the one that fits with your own beliefs and philosophies.

Are you involved with an umbrella school not on this list? We want to promote you to our audience, please see directions at the bottom of this page.
