Let’s make a few things clearer.
Does Maryland require one particular homeschool curriculum?
No. MSDE explains that parents select curriculum and instructional materials. Families should understand the requirements of their supervision route and how their chosen resources fit the learning plan.
Is accredited curriculum required for Maryland homeschooling?
Maryland’s home instruction framework does not require parents to purchase accredited curriculum. Accreditation, school enrollment, supervision, and future acceptance of records are separate questions. Read the accreditation guide for the distinctions.
Can online curriculum and a co-op be used together?
Yes, they can play different roles in a learning plan. Consider the work covered, the time required, and who is responsible for teaching and follow-through. A co-op does not automatically provide oversight.
