Parent Qualifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The State of Nevada does not outline any qualifications for parents who wish to homeschool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice of Intent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you decide to start homeschooling, you\u2019ll need to provide a Notice of Intent<\/a>. This needs to be completed once, no more than 10 days after withdrawing your child from public school or within 30 days of moving to Nevada. If you\u2019re intending to homeschool from the beginning of your child\u2019s education, then this form will need to be submitted when they reach 7 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your name or address changes, you\u2019ll need to file a new notice. If your child would like to participate in public school sports or extracurricular activities, you will also need to file a Notice of Intent to Participate<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can send these forms to your local superintendent, who should send you a letter of acknowledgement in return. Be sure to keep copies of all correspondence for your records. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The compulsory attendance age in Nevada is ages 6-18. There is no requirement for the amount of instruction hours you need to provide within these years, however. Parents are able to choose a schedule that works best for their families, and they can take as much time as needed to cover the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeschool Curriculum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nevada homeschool law does require that a handful of subjects be taught: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. English (reading, composition, and writing)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Math<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Science<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Social studies (history, geography, economics, and government)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Nevada does not recommend any specific homeschool curricula at this time. The state also does not provide one for you, so you\u2019ll need to create or find one on your own. <\/p>\n\n\n
