MDHSA Diploma Program Approved Evaluators

Searching for a MDHSA Diploma Program Evaluator? You’ve come to the right place!

The individuals listed below have been approved to evaluate for the MDHSA Diploma Program. MDHSA has approved these evaluators based on their attestation that they meet the requirements of the PA Home Education Law to evaluate home educated students in high school and, in some cases, elementary grades. However, it is the responsibility of the parent to verify that your evaluator meets the requirements of the PA Home Education Law to evaluate home educated students.

If you are currently using an Evaluator that is NOT listed below, please contact MDHSA to determine if the Evaluator is registered with the Diploma Program, as some choose to not have their information listed on the website.

Note: Certain evaluators may be listed as non-residents of Pennsylvania.  However, they have been approved by some Pennsylvania school districts to evaluate Pennsylvania homeschool students. These are usually evaluators who live near the state line. In their case, the listed contact information will be correct, but the “county” will refer to the area that they evaluate in Pennsylvania, which may include nearby counties as well.
