What is an Umbrella School?
If you’re homeschooling in Colorado, consider the benefits of joining an umbrella school like Statheros Academy.
But what exactly is an umbrella school?
An umbrella school is a private school that sets its own policies for enrollment, testing, and evaluations, offering a flexible alternative to filing a Notice of Intent (NOI) under Homeschool Law. By enrolling in our umbrella school, you fulfill Colorado's legal reporting requirements under Independent School Law,
replacing the need to file an NOI.
At Statheros Academy, our enrolled families enjoy the freedom of setting their own schedules and customizing their homeschooling experience. We handle all the administrative duties for your homeschool, including securely storing your records, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.
Whether you want full support or prefer minimal involvement, we tailor our services to meet your needs. We support homeschooling parents from preschool through high school with report cards, transcript reviews, official and unofficial transcripts, and diplomas.
Plus, you’ll have direct access to our team for personalized support—no red tape, just real support.
