Homeschool benefits: Walton County School District
Walton County School District offers the PSAT/NMSQT, SAT School Day, Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), and Advanced Placement (AP) exams to home study students who live inside district boundaries and have a Declaration of Intent on file with the Georgia Department of Education. AP registration is open until November 6, 2026 for full-year and fall courses, and the next ASVAB registration deadline is October 15, 2026.
Who qualifies
Lives inside district boundaries
Your student must reside within the Walton County School District boundaries. The district links an address lookup on its testing page.
Has a Declaration of Intent
You need an approved home study plan with the Georgia Department of Education, and you upload a copy of your Home School Declaration of Intent (DOI) with each test application.
Registers by each deadline
Each test has its own online application and deadline. AP registration also requires a government-issued photo ID or a notarized College Board Student ID Form.

Homeschool rules and statewide help in Georgia
You must submit the Declaration of Intent within 30 days after establishing the home study program, then by September 1 each subsequent year.
Georgia sets these rules:
- Subjects: Teach reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science, for the equivalent of 180 school days each year with at least 4.5 hours per day.
- Testing: Use an appropriate nationally standardized test at least every three years beginning at the end of grade 3, administered in consultation with a person trained in norm-referenced testing. Retain the scores and assessment records.
- Records: The instructor writes an annual progress assessment for each student in each required subject. Keep these reports for at least three years and retain standardized-test scores and assessment records.
- Teachers: The teaching parent needs a high school diploma or GED in Georgia.
Georgia also has an education savings account that home-educated students can use.
- The Georgia Promise Scholarship pays up to $6,500 for 2026-27, but your child usually must have attended an eligible Georgia public school for two semesters, or be entering kindergarten, and withdraw before it is funded. It does not pay for a homeschool you already run.
