How non-public and home schools relate to the school district

By Steve Bruchman,

New Prague Area Schools

Each year non-public schools (like St. Wenceslaus School and Holy Cross School) and home schools (individual parents instructing one or more of their children at home) are required to register with the school district in which they operate.

A non-public school is usually defined as having five or more students coming together in a set location/building; a home school is usually fewer than five students and located in a residence.
