Tennessee Dept. of Education Website
Tennessee Dept. of Education Homeschooling web page and FAQ (scroll down if you see a gap)
It appears on the above page there are three different structures for homeschooling: Independent Homeschooling, Church-related Umbrella School, and Accredited Online School. The requirements differ for each one.
Always check directly with the official Tennessee Dept. of Education website to verify information. Even if some states may not require it, it is usually a good idea to let your last school know you will not be returning to avoid being counted as absent.

For example, search for “schooling at home”, “homeschool”, “home school”, “home instruction”, “nonpublic”, or “compulsory school attendance”. However, be careful since a search may return results for old web pages or documents.
