How Lyceum Mundi families satisfy Florida's home-education law — Fla. Stat. §1002.41 — with no accreditation and no private school.
Florida home education is parent-directed by law. The statute defines it as a program of instruction "directed by the parent." You — not a school — direct the instruction. Lyceum Mundi is simply the tool you direct with. That is precisely why no accreditation, and no licensed school, is required.
| The law asks you to… | Lyceum Mundi does it for you… |
|---|---|
| File a Notice of Intent within 30 days of starting. | Generates your NOI, pre-filled and ready to file with your county. |
| Keep a log of educational activities. | Logs every lesson, dated, as it's completed. |
| Record reading materials by title and author. | Captures the reading list and a title-and-author reading log. |
| Keep samples of the student's work. | Stores graded notebooks, essays, and seminar writing. |
| Have an annual educational evaluation by a qualified person. | Arranges a Florida-certified evaluator at our expense and hands over the portfolio. |
| Retain records two years; produce on 15 days' notice. | Held securely and exportable on demand — the whole portfolio in a click. |
Florida accepts three routes for the annual evaluation: review by a Florida-certified teacher, a nationally-normed achievement test, or an evaluation by a licensed psychologist. Your AI faculty cannot do this — by design, the law requires a person.
So we made it the easy part — and we cover it. Lyceum Mundi arranges a vetted, Florida-certified evaluator for you at no extra cost, and the portfolio we've already assembled is delivered to them automatically. You show up to one appointment; your year is on file.
Two words get confused, so let's be plain:
A voluntary stamp about whether other institutions recognize credits. Home educators don't need it.
State permission to operate as a school. You're not operating a school — you're a parent educating your child. You don't need it either.
Lyceum Mundi doesn't claim to be either — and you don't need us to be.
From day one, a Lyceum Mundi education aims at Florida's public universities — and the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship. The two have different rules, and we build for both.
The State University System looks for 18 core academic units, a weighted GPA, and SAT or ACT scores. Our curriculum is sequenced to deliver exactly that:
Home-educated students get a simpler path: Bright Futures sets no required course list or minimum GPA for home-ed applicants. It comes down to three things, and we help with each:
Figures reflect the 2025–26 Bright Futures and State University System criteria, which are set by the State of Florida and the universities and updated periodically; eligibility and admission are theirs to determine. Lyceum Mundi helps you meet and document the criteria — it does not award the scholarship or guarantee admission.
In Florida there's no state diploma for home education — you issue it, as the home educator of record, in the form of a signed parent affidavit affirming your child completed the program. From your console you can generate a parent-issued diploma on Lyceum Mundi letterhead: it states that you successfully home-educated your child using Lyceum Mundi's tools to satisfy Fla. Stat. §1002.41, carries your signature and attestation, and notes that Lyceum Mundi retains a complete, verifiable record of the statutorily required documentation. Lyceum Mundi provides the tools and keeps the records — you confer the diploma.
