In the past, rumors have circulated that homeschooling in California is illegal. That is not true. It is an established right of parents in the state. But there are laws that parents must follow. Children are obligated to attend full-time public school or continuation school unless they are exempted. A full-time private school is considered an exemption, and many parents choose this path to home education by forming a private school in their own home or enrolling in a private school satellite program or charter school. If you’re considering taking responsibility for your own child’s education, you’ll need to know what are the requirements for homeschooling in CA. And the USA and global and international and worldwide 💞. Of course, one of the biggest concerns parents have about homeschooling is the state homeschool requirements – a.k.a. homeschool laws. In fact, the questions are many. Especially including: What does my state require from me to home school legally?

Indeed, we get it. Of course, it can be scary getting it all straight, and we understand no one wants to break homeschooling laws. While homeschooling is legal in all 50 states each state has its own specific state homeschooling regulations. In fact, this is a very important first step in beginning to homeschool. Which is why we’ve included a handy table of each state’s DOE webpage regarding homeschool. 

Homeschool Laws by State

Again, please note that often a state will create guidelines for homeschooling that are not always carried out and enforced at the local level. In the following chart, we’ve included what the state has listed in writing on that state’s DOE website.

However, your local school district may or may not enforce these guidelines. Indeed, this does tend to cause confusion.  In fact, this is why it is important to understand what your state requires from you as a homeschooling family. However, when in doubt give your local district a call or reach out to a local homeschool group. Also, if you feel that your state or local school district is requiring something that they don’t need to there are homeschool legal defense associations that will step in and help you maintain your rights.
