You’ve decided to homeschool your children, and now you may be wondering where to begin. Whether you are new to homeschooling or simply new to your state, the first step to getting your homeschool journey on the right track involves checking out your state’s laws and educational requirements. Some states have few or no requirements regarding teaching qualifications, subjects to be taught, or record-keeping.
Other states require a formal notice to the school district and have guidelines regarding instructor qualifications, standardized testing, immunization records, and instructional hours each year.
