Home education laws by state

Home education laws vary by state in the U.S., influencing how families can teach their children at home. Some states require minimal oversight, such as notifying the state or submitting an annual assessment, while others mandate curriculum approval or standardized testing. A few states have strict regulations that resemble public school requirements. Families should review their specific state's laws, which can be found on educational websites or state education departments, to ensure compliance and understand their rights and responsibilities concerning home education.
