Lightstead
Homeschool

Homeschool requirements, state by state.

Every state runs homeschooling a little differently — some want a notice of intent, some want annual testing, some ask for nothing at all. Lightstead tracks all 51 U.S. jurisdictions inside the app: 43 mapped in depth, the rest summarized. Pick your state below for a plain-English guide to its rules.

Homeschool guides by state

Don’t see your state? Lightstead still tracks it. These detailed guides cover 51states today; the rest are summarized inside the app, and every U.S. jurisdiction has a compliance profile that updates as the law changes. This is general information, not legal advice — always confirm with your state’s homeschool organization or Department of Education.

Homeschool, handled

Keep your records ready before anyone asks.

Notices, attendance, test scores, and portfolios — organized per child, per year, and ready to hand to your district or evaluator the day they ask.
