<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nHow to Start Homeschooling in Arizona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re ready to begin homeschooling, take these three simple steps to comply with Arizona state law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
File an Affidavit of Intent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
First, you must file a one-time affidavit of intent with your local county school superintendent for each homeschooled child. You\u2019ll need to do this within 30 days after you start homeschooling unless your child is younger than the mandatory age of 6. If you start schooling before age 6, you\u2019re not required to submit the affidavit until your child\u2019s sixth birthday. Then you have 30 days to complete it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> Your local district may have a form to complete and require affidavits to be notarized, so always check with the superintendent\u2019s office first. <\/p>\n\n\n\nYou\u2019ll want to ask if you can mail in the affidavit or if you need to submit it in person. The district should provide you with a date-stamped copy of the affidavit for your own records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to include in the affidavit for each child you\u2019ll be homeschooling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Child’s legal name and date of birth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Names, telephone numbers, and addresses of everyone who currently has legal custody of the child<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Provide Birth Certificates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll also need to submit certified copies of birth certificates for each homeschooled child to verify their ages. You have 30 days to provide the birth certificates\u2013the same as the affidavit of intent. The district will make copies of the certificate and return the original to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> The birth certificate must show the child\u2019s full legal name. If the child has a different legal name, you must also provide legal proof of name change.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you don\u2019t have a birth certificate, Arizona law allows other substitutes, including baptismal certificates, a social security number application, or original school registration records. In addition to these, you\u2019ll need to provide an affidavit explaining why you\u2019re unable to provide a birth certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Include the Required Subjects<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once your initial paperwork is out of the way, the only other legal requirement is to ensure your curriculum includes the required subjects, but check in with your local school district to confirm that there are no other requirements to complete. The required subjects are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Reading<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Grammar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Math<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Social studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Science<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Mandatory School Age in Arizona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Arizona law requires every child to attend school from the ages of 6 to 16. However, parents\/guardians may choose to delay starting education until age 8. If you choose to do this, you still need to file an affidavit with the district stating you wish to have your child attend school once they turn 8. Contact your local district for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can homeschool in Arizona. There are no educational requirements or credentials needed for instructors. Families do not need to give any justification for their reasons for choosing to homeschool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nArizona Homeschool Subject & Curriculum Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Arizona requires all students to be instructed in the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Reading<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Grammar<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Math<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Social studies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Science<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
There are no specific requirements as to the standards within those subjects. You may wish to align your curriculum with Arizona\u2019s Academic Standards<\/a>. Or, you can choose other educational programs as long as they include the five required subjects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.homeschoolplus.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Curriculum-Requirements.png\")

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBack to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nArizona Homeschool Assessments and Evaluations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Arizona doesn\u2019t require families to complete any type of regular homeschool assessment or evaluation. Families should still consider keeping detailed records, as they help document that the required subjects have been taught. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> Students will likely need transcripts or other records as they pursue higher education or begin a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConsider assembling a portfolio for each school year, showing the subjects students studied or curricula they completed, outside classes and activities they participated in, and so on. Include samples of their work as well. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nArizona Homeschoolers and Standardized Tests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Arizona doesn\u2019t require homeschooled students to participate in standardized testing (including AzMERIT). You may wish to use standardized tests to check your student\u2019s progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> Arizona\u2019s State Board of Education allows homeschool students to take the AzMERIT without paying any fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\nContact your local district if you want your child to take the AzMERIT tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBack to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nRequired Immunizations for Homeschoolers in Arizona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Homeschool students in Arizona are not required to receive any immunizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if your child wishes to participate in sports or take classes at a local school, they will be required to present up-to-date immunization verification or the appropriate exemption form. Learn more in the Arizona Immunization Handbook.<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nEmpowerment Scholarship Program for Homeschoolers in Arizona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Beginning with the 2022-23 school year, Arizona\u2019s Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) Program allowed parents to use state tax dollars to pay tuition at private or religious schools or to cover the costs of homeschooling. These funds are only available to children not enrolled in any public school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the Arizona Department of Education:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cBy accepting an ESA, the student’s parent or guardian is signing a contract agreeing to provide an education that includes the following subjects: reading, grammar, mathematics, social studies, and science. ESA funding can be used to pay private school tuition, curriculum, home education, tutoring, etc.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow much money does the ESA program provide?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Amounts are based on grade level, and students with documented disabilities or special education requirements can qualify for a substantially larger awarded amount. For 2022-23, the state expects the average kindergarten student to receive $4,000 to $5,000. For 1st through 12th grade, a student may receive $6,000 to $9,000. See the approximate funding expectations for the 2022-23 school year here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nAre ESA funds paid directly to families?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
No. Families receive the money, divided into quarterly payments, through an Empowerment Scholarship Account. They then use a special debit card to make purchases and provide documentation to justify their use of the funds. They can also submit invoices for payment. See the ESA Parent Handbook<\/a> for more details. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat can families use ESA funds for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can spend your ESA funds on many acceptable items, including textbooks, tuition or fees at private or religious schools, curricula and other educational materials, computer equipment, and more. See the full list here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe state has the right to refuse to pay for items. Here are some items that aren’t allowed.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nHow do I apply for ESA funding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Arizona is home to many homeschool groups, co-ops, organizations, and associations for homeschoolers to join. You\u2019ll find they\u2019re wonderful resources for creating friendships, sharing tips and ideas, and enriching your homeschool experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are a few of Arizona\u2019s groups and co-ops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Arizona Homeschool Hub<\/a>: Follow this Facebook page for homeschool ideas, videos, and events. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Arizona Christian Homeschoolers<\/a>: A private Facebook group for Christian homeschoolers to connect and share ideas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Homeschool Organizations and Associations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Homeschool associations are typically more formal than traditional groups or co-ops and may require membership fees. These entities often offer access to events, information, resources, legal assistance, and advocacy efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arizona Families for Home Education<\/a> is a homeschool organization that’s been supporting families in Arizona for 40 years. They have a wealth of resources on their site and organize many events. They even offer a high school graduation ceremony for homeschoolers each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

TIP:<\/strong> If you withdraw your child from school to begin homeschooling in the middle of the school year, they\u2019ll be ineligible to participate in interscholastic sports until the beginning of the next academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSchool sports aren\u2019t the only option for homeschoolers!
