UMBRELLA List
"MSDE Umbrella Schools" are organizations registered with the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) who agree to provide homeschool oversight for families who educate their children at home. Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) allows for three types of non-governmental entities to provide homeschool oversight to Maryland families. MSDE UMBRELLA schools are authorized by the state of Maryland and have their own set of guidelines for their students. That’s why it’s important that families research each UMBRELLA school thoroughly to make sure that it meets their unique needs, and allows them to comply with the Maryland's homeschooling laws.
