Certified Tutor Option:
Section 22.1-254 of the Code of Virginia allows parents to have their children taught by a tutor or a teacher who meets the teacher licensure qualifications prescribed by the Board of Education when that individual has been approved as a tutor by the school division superintendent. To meet the qualifications prescribed by the Board of Education, the tutor must have a valid Virginia teaching license in any area and may be a parent who meets the tutor qualifications.
Tutors are approved for four years or as long as their teaching license is valid, whichever comes sooner. Proof of academic progress is not required.
Parents selecting this option must notify the Home Instruction Office by mail: PWCS Office of Student Services, Home Instruction, P.O. Box 389, Manassas, VA 20108 or email: PWCSHomeInstruction@pwcs.edu.
Please include the following in your correspondence:
- Student's Name
- Copy of the tutor's valid (current) Virginia teaching license
