Arc School curriculum availability.

Plain-English overview

North Carolina is marked curriculum available, but parents still handle state steps, records, and any required evaluations.

• Expect a notice, registration, withdrawal, or district filing step when starting.
• Parents appear to have meaningful curriculum choice, with any named subject rules still respected.
• Plan to track attendance or instructional time and complete the required test or evaluation cycle.
• Keep parent records such as attendance, test results, confirmations, or withdrawal documents.

Notice or registration

Notice of Intent to DNPE before operating; one notice per school, not per student.

Required subjects

Parent/legal guardian determines scope and sequence; standardized test must cover English grammar, reading, spelling, and mathematics.

Attendance or time

Operate on a regular schedule for at least nine calendar months, excluding holidays and vacations.

Testing or evaluation

Nationally standardized achievement test each academic year; retain results at least one year and provide to DNPE if requested.

Records

Maintain immunization records, annual attendance records, and annual standardized test results.

Parent qualifications

Chief administrator and instructors in the household must hold at least a high school diploma or equivalent.

Dashboard records

Attendance, subject coverage, reminders, records, and exports belong under the parent dashboard as those tools ship. Curriculum availability does not mean Arc files paperwork or replaces parent responsibility.
