Unless they are home-schooled, school-age children moving into New
Hanover County should be immediately enrolled in a public or independent
(private) school. To enroll a child in the public schools, the parent or
guardian must bring to the school a certified copy of the child's birth
certificate along with the child's Social Security card, completed
health assessment, immunization records and proof of residence. Children
entering kindergarten must be 5 years old on or before October 16 of
that year. Parents of students who were enrolled in a different school
should bring the student's last report card and copies of standardized
test reports to the new school.

Three
public school systems serve Wilmington and
the southeast coast: New Hanover County Schools, the largest system,
which includes Wilmington; Brunswick County Schools to the south of New
Hanover County; and Pender County Schools to the north of Wilmington.
Additionally, the region offers a growing list of independent (private)
schools, both secular and religion-based, that meet a broad range of
educational needs. As home schooling has become increasingly popular, we
have included some helpful information about state and local resources
and requirements.
