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

There are no qualifications outlined by Oklahoma law for home education instructors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Homeschool parents in Oklahoma are not required to submit a Notice of Intent. If your child is currently enrolled in a public school district, you may want to consider withdrawing them in writing. This can prevent any truancy claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

According to the Oklahoma Department of Education<\/a>, Oklahoma requires homeschool students to receive 180 days of instruction per school year, in the form of six hours or 360 minutes per day, as appropriate for the student\u2019s age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Oklahoma homeschooling laws leave the curriculum up to each family. Parents can choose whatever they would like to teach, and students have the freedom to pursue any special interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to know that the Oklahoma Attorney General does recommend that the education provided be at least equivalent to that provided in public schools. Some parents look to the Oklahoma Academic Standards<\/a> for a better understanding of what their child would be learning in a public school so they can stay on track with their peers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents are responsible for providing a homeschool curriculum<\/a>. It\u2019s ideal to choose a curriculum that includes the topics your child will be learning with little need for supplementation. Thankfully, there are plenty of curricula online, as well as other resources available for parents to use.<\/p>\n\n\n
