Home Instruction

The Des Moines Public Schools Home Instruction Program is an alternative K-12 educational program open to all families who choose to home school their children. 

The Home Instruction Assistance Program started in 1984 as a result of parent requests.  It began with one teacher and fifteen students.  We now have nine supervising teachers and serve over 380 students.
