Home Schooling Requirements for Your State

Home school requirements vary from state to state.  Here are links to each state’s requirements so that you may have an idea of the steps you will have to take in becoming a homeschooler.

Home schooling law was passed by each state individually according to their interpretations of what would be the minimum requirements for a sound home schooling program.  The laws will vary in their complexity, with some being easier to understand and implement than others.  It is always a good idea to consult your local and state authorities for any interpretation or clarification of these laws.  A wonderful source might be your local librarian who has surely fielded similar questions from potential homeschoolers in the past.  Another source might be from any state home schooling association that you might find information for online.

Please pay particular attention to how your state defines what is or is not a home school.  Sometimes an online group is still state sponsored, and therefor is considered to be an extension of the public school system.
