Please note, this is not intended as legal advice. This is for informational purposes only and should you choose to Homeschool in Idaho then you need to double check the Idaho Department of Education website for current regulations.
Idaho has low levels of regulation for homeschoolers. Idaho does not require homeschool parents to possess any particular qualifications, obtain school district approval, or test their children. If your public school district asks for information about your homeschool program, you are not legally required to furnish it.
The best way to navigate and stay up to date with homeschool regulations in Idaho is to connect with other homeschoolers.
