Satellite Campuses Program


The Farm School is recognized by the Tennessee Department of Education as a Category IV Exempted School. Operating under the Jeter Memo, The Farm School founded The Farm School Satellite Campuses Program as an umbrella for off-Farm home-based learners. 
 
Please note:
 As a Tennessee non-public school enrollment in our program meets the compulsory attendance laws for the state of Tennessee. We do not assert that enrollment in our program meets the compulsory attendance and/or homeschool requirements in other states. It is the parent / guardian’s responsibility to meet the requirements of the state in which the student resides if they do not reside in Tennessee.

We are very excited to be able to offer an alternative for homeschool families that, for whatever reason, are not comfortable registering with their Local Educational Agency (LEA) or with a denominational Church Related School (CRS). We require no statement of faith and are not interested in mandating curriculum or any other decisions. We believe in responsive education matched to the needs, interests and experiences of individual children. And we believe that the adults best able to negotiate curriculum with children are the adults spending time with those children on a daily basis. 

Registration and enrollment fees cover basic administrative processing & services including a Homeschool Reporting Online account and access to The Farm School Community Commons.
Centralized record keeping, The Farm School  diploma or certificate of attendance, Teacher and student ID cards, transcripts, Tennessee driver's license proof of attendance and progress letter. Additional fees may apply for services such as  curriculum consultation, assessment review, and portfolio planning and review.

Enrollment is open all year. We enroll out-of-state families, however enrollment may not satisfy the compulsory attendance and/or homeschool laws in other states.

Part of the enrollment process is for parent(s) / guardian(s) to read the CRS Law & Jeter Memo.

The next step in the process is to join our FSSC discussion group for folks interested in The Farm School Satellite Campuses Program.
