No-Stress Virginia Homeschool Evaluations
With a licensed teacher who recognizes the many ways children demonstrate learning, progress, and growth.

Sara Cooper, M.A.Ed.

What is a Homeschool Evaluation?
In Virginia, homeschool families are required to submit proof of progress each year by August 1. Most families meet this requirement in one of two ways: a standardized test or an evaluation conducted by a licensed teacher. Evaluations are a great fit for families whose younger students, students who don’t test well, or those for those who may not perform well in a traditional testing environment.
What Are The Steps?
1
Brief Pre-Meeting Survey
You’ll complete a short form to help me understand your child’s learning experiences and progress over the year.
2
Share Work
Samples
You’ll choose a small selection of your child’s work that reflects their learning in areas like math, reading, writing, and any other subjects you’d like to include.
3
Short, Relaxed Meeting
We’ll meet (virtually) for approximately 30 minutes. This is a low-pressure, child-friendly conversation where I review progress and briefly connect with your child.
4
Receive Your Evaluation Letter
Within 48 hours, you’ll receive a written evaluation letter from me confirming your child’s progress. You’ll submit this with your end-of-year documentation.
