The state of Kansas treats homeschools as a non-accredited private school. As a homeschool in Kansas you’ll need to follow these requirements:
- Register Your School with the Kansas Department of Education
- You’ll only need to register once when initially setting up your homeschool.
- Keep a copy of your registration on file.
- Select Instructors
- Your child’s teacher(s) must be “competent.”
- Teach for the Required Period of Time
- You are required to teach your child for about the same period of time as the public schools.
- Plan and Schedule Your Instruction
- The law requires that your instruction be planned and scheduled.
- Test your student periodically.
- There is no standard set forth on how often or when to test students.
The best way to stay on top of changes in homeschool regulations is to connect with other local homeschoolers in Kansas.
