How we verify homeschool law, state by state
Every state page on this site is sourced to the controlling statute — the law itself, cited inline — not to summaries. This page explains the process.
Who’s behind this site
Homeschool Laws by State is an independent publisher operated by VentureCorp Publishing. We are not a law firm, an advocacy organization, or a state agency. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
Where our data comes from
| Data | Source | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Requirement summaries (50 states) | The controlling state statutes and administrative rules, cited on each page | The published source for every requirement |
| Spot checks | State education department pages (e.g. NY, CO confirmed cleanly) | Cross-verification of notification and instruction-time rules |
| Consulted compilations | The Coalition for Responsible Home Education's policy summaries were consulted during research (no text republished) | Research orientation only — statutes are the published source |
How we calculate
Each state's requirements are normalized into four fields — notification, assessment, subjects, parent qualifications — plus the statute citations. Where a requirement was too nuanced for a single label (13 states), we resolved it into statute-cited plain language on 2026-06-10 and the page renders that detail. Every state page carries a “verified as of” date and a not-legal-advice notice.
Independence & how we make money
Some links may be affiliate links to curriculum or education partners; if you buy through one we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Partners never see or influence the legal summaries. We don't rank states or curricula.
Keeping it current
Homeschool statutes are amended in legislative sessions, with most changes effective July 1. We re-verify the full set semiannually (aligned to sessions) and re-check any state on publish. Current verification date: June 2026.
