Please note, this is not intended as legal advice. This is for informational purposes only and should you choose to Homeschool in Alaska then you need to double check the Alaska Department of Education website for current regulations.
Alaska has one of the lowest amount of regulations to homeschool in the United States. If you are homeschooling in the state of Alaska, you are not required to inform the State or school district that you are homeschooling nor do you need to participate in any state testing. For graduating homeschoolers, Alaska requires that you must earn at least 21 credits throughout high school.
In fact, Alaska even provides the Alaska Homeschool Allotment. Homeschoolers in Alaska have access to a specific fund that can be used for their child’s educational needs. This Alaska homeschool stipend can be used to buy school materials or families can also be reimbursed if they have already made educational purchases.
Fellow homeschoolers in your state are best equipped to help you navigate the opportunities available for homeschoolers. Here are a few secular homeschool groups in Alaska to connect with.
Alaska Secular Homeschool Groups
Anchorage Life Learners (unschoolers & homeschoolers)
“A secular and inclusive group for Anchorage area unschoolers and homeschoolers.”
“We are a secular group for homeschooling families in Eagle River, Alaska. Our group is secular, meaning we are not affiliated with a specific religion, we welcome drama free religious reference (such as homeschool curriculum).”
Fairbanks Secular Homeschoolers
“A comfortable place for secular homeschoolers to discuss ideas, curriculum and to meet other open minded homeschoolers.”
