Homeschool rules

State law exempts a child educated in the child's home by a parent or legal guardian from compulsory public school attendance. The statute requires no notice and no testing or assessment. Check your state's law before you start.

Notice: No Testing: No

Law: Alaska Stat. § 14.30.010(b)(12). Official source

Notes

No state private school choice program (the Alaska Constitution bars public funds from directly benefiting private educational institutions). District-run correspondence programs give families allotments; litigation (Anchorage Superior Court, Alaska Supreme Court 2024 remand, continuing into 2025-26) challenges whether allotments may be spent at private schools. The current status of that case is unverified from official sources (news reports only).

Some items in a note may rest on news reports rather than an official source.
