State Declaration Letters
Researched from each state's own statute (2026-11-06). Pick your state: the filing facts in plain language, then the letter itself — fill it in, print it, sign it, and file it yourself. The Academy never files on a family's behalf, and no state approves the Academy or its curriculum.
