Please note, this is not intended as legal advice. This is for informational purposes only and should you choose to Homeschool in Mississippi then you need to double check the Mississippi Department of Education website for current regulations.
Homeschooling in Mississippi is an incredibly straightforward process with very little regulation. All children in Mississippi ages 6 to 17 are required to be enrolled in an education program (public, private, or homeschool). For those families choosing to teach their child at home, they must simply complete a certificate of enrollment each year with the attendance officer in the county of residence. Outside of that requirement, there are no parental educational minimums, no standardized testing, and no required curriculum to use or even required subjects to teach.
The best way to stay on top of changes in homeschool regulations is to connect with other local homeschoolers in Mississippi.
