Please note, this is not intended as legal advice. This is for informational purposes only and should you choose to Homeschool in Oregon then you need to double check the Oregon Department of Education website for current regulations.
Homeschooling laws in Oregon require parents to do three things:
- File a one-time Notice of Intent (NOI) to homeschool form to your local Education Service District (ESD).
- Have your student tested in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10.
- If applicable, address any disabilities by having your child evaluated.
The best way to stay on top of changes in homeschool regulations is to connect with other local homeschoolers in Oregon.
