Hi Gina! I’m so excited to hear you are moving to Emmett! It’s a great place especially for hiking and biking! I don’t know a lot about what is over there as we are more familiar with the Boise area. You might want to research K12 or Garnet Prep and if those are not a good fit, then you can ask Jamie Robb (she is one of the founders of Garent) about other options. There are lots of Facebook group for homeschooling in Idaho that will be a great place to ask as well! Feel free to email me with any other questions! tulip@trueaimeducation.com Welcome to Idaho!

Hi there. We are moving to Emmett at the end of this month and our 12 year old has been home schooled since first grade. I’m researching Idaho programs for home schooling and was hoping you could give me tips on what’s best. I’ve looked into IDVA, ICON, and Inspire Connections Academy so far. I’d like to find one that gives her more freedom than the one she has been in all these years. We like to do a lot of hiking and biking and need a flexible program.
Thank you for any help you can send my way.

Kimberly, like Janine, where do you live? I know here in Northern Idaho, all you need to do is call a church, and most have some sort of homeschool group… most not directly supported by the church, but members that get together. Most of my friends, including myself, have been homeschooled at one point, and there is a very larger population of homeschoolers up here!

Also, Janine, at North Idaho College, you need to only take their COMPASS test to be enrolled, since they take dual-enrollment students. So, as long as you graduate with an associates, you can move on to any other college/university in the country.

Thank you for the info..some things I did not know about homeschooling in Idaho. We have been here for almost 6 years now and we are loving the freedom in our homeschooling here in southeast Idaho. There just aren’t very many families homeschooling in our area though but there are a few in which we have connected with, thankfully. I was particularly interested in the dual-enrollment since my daughter is wanting to join the cross-country team as well as track this coming school year. Not sure if I really want my children to be connected to the public school system but it’s something she really wants to do..or at least try. So thank you for the information. It is very much appreciated.

Thanks for this great info!! We are planning to move to Idaho in part because of the homeschooling freedom. We are in Florida and it is not too bad here but we want complete freedom and control over our daughter’s education. We also want to move closer to WA where my MIL and SIL live.
