Homeschooling In Your State

This time of year many public school children are returning to classes and in many states that signals a return for homeschoolers too. Each state has different legal requirements for registering and operating your homeschool.

Some states, like my home state of Michigan, require no notice or registration at all.

"There are no requirements to notify, seek approval, test, file forms, or have any certain teacher qualifications. The burden is on the state to prove that the parents are not teaching their children."

In other states, like North Carolina, the requirements are more stringent though they only apply to children of compulsory schooling age which is between your 7th and 16th birthday.

You can visit the HSLDA website and find information on your state.
