Do education scholarship balances transfer when we move states?

No. Step Up, ESA, and similar awards are state-specific. Close out the old program per its rules and apply in the new state if eligible.

Can siblings in two states use the same curriculum brand?

Yes. Curriculum is portable. Funding portals are not. Confirm Homeschool Complete (or any vendor) separately in each child’s ClassWallet, Odyssey, EMA, or Step Up account.

Where should I start if one child is in Florida?

Start with Start Florida Homeschool’s Step Up and Florida funding pages, then open the destination state’s page on the Funding by State hub.

A practical map of Odyssey, Step Up, and ClassWallet for families with siblings in different states — plus Homeschool Complete K–5 curriculum links from Start Florida Homeschool.

Homeschool Options for Siblings Across States: Step Up, Odyssey & ClassWallet

If one child is funded in Florida and another will start school after a move — or grandparents keep a sibling in Arizona while you work in Texas — you do not need two teaching philosophies. You need two funding logins and one portable curriculum plan.

This guide is published on Start Florida Homeschool and pairs with our Homeschool Options & Funding by State hub. Curriculum recommendations link to Homeschool Complete (preschool–5th, faith-based and secular).

Three platforms parents keep confusing

Name	Plain-English role	Where we go deeper
Step Up for Students	Florida scholarship nonprofit & PEP pathways	/step-up/ · /funding/florida/
ClassWallet	Digital wallet / marketplace for approved vendors	/resources/class-wallet/
Odyssey	Account layer for some ESA / freedom-account programs	/resources/odyssey/ · /funding/texas/

None of these replace your state’s homeschool legal steps (Letter of Intent in Florida, etc.). Funding pays for materials; you remain the teacher.

Sibling scenarios that work

1. Florida + Arizona

Florida child: Step Up / PEP workflow → Florida funding
Arizona child: ESA + often ClassWallet → Arizona funding
Shared teaching: same Homeschool Complete grade track so morning baskets match

2. Florida → Texas relocation

Finish Florida evaluation year cleanly
Open Texas EFA / Odyssey when eligible → Texas page
Re-check vendor approval; Step Up dollars do not move with you

3. Multi-state family on one curriculum brand

Homeschool Complete is a curriculum company based in Ocala — not an online school. That matters for scholarship rules that ban “tuition to a private school” but allow curriculum. Confirm categories in each portal.
