<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nHow to Start Homeschooling in Kansas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kansas doesn\u2019t have a specific state statute about homeschooling. Instead, families who wish to homeschool do so under the Non-Accredited Private School (NAPS) statute. You must establish and register your private school with the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> There is no cost to registering your homeschool, and it helps prevent your child from being reported truant.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNAPS homeschools have minimal legal requirements, as shown below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nNon-Accredited Private School (Home School) Registration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You only need to complete your NAPS registration form once when you first begin homeschooling. After that, you\u2019re only required to notify the state if you have a change in information or your homeschool is no longer active. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can register your school online with the form found here<\/a>. You\u2019ll need to provide a name for your school, as well as an address, and other contact information. You\u2019ll also need to designate an official custodian of records. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf the official custodian is not the child\u2019s parent or legal guardian, you must include their information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> An official custodian of records is usually the parent overseeing homeschooling. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.homeschoolplus.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Notice-of-Intent.png\")

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBack to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nQualifications to Homeschool in Kansas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In Kansas, the law says NAPS home school instructors must be \u201ccompetent.\u201d They leave that definition open to interpretation by the parent or guardian overseeing a child\u2019s homeschooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAll you need to homeschool is a passion for your child\u2019s education and a willingness to put in the time and effort it requires.<\/em>

The state doesn\u2019t require home educators to teach specific subjects. They may wish to use the Kansas Curricular Standards<\/a> as a guide but are not required to. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTIP:<\/strong> Home educators can choose any curriculum programs, textbooks, or educational materials. However, homeschool families are responsible for covering all educational costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nKansas Homeschool Attendance Requirements <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Kansas requires NAPS homeschools to provide instruction days and hours \u201csubstantially equivalent\u201d to public school instruction. This is 186 days of instruction at no less than 6 hours per day or 1,116 hours per year for grades 1st-11th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families may set their own schedules as long as they meet this requirement. Though the law does not require it, keeping an attendance record is helpful so you can prove your compliance if it\u2019s questioned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are no record-keeping requirements in Kansas. Homeschool families generally keep detailed records so they can generate transcripts or transition their child to public school if needed. These could include attendance records, courses taken and grades received, a list of educational materials used, a portfolio of work samples, and test scores or other evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kansas Law K.S.A. 72-6262<\/a>, students enrolled in any school should be immunized. However, the same law states that families can file exemptions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nResources for Homeschool Families in Kansas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Homeschooling families often seek opportunities to enhance their children’s education, promote socialization, and empower their homeschooling journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Families can achieve this by joining homeschool groups, co-ops, or larger associations. These connections can provide valuable resources and opportunities for homeschooling families to engage with other like-minded individuals, share ideas, and learn from each other. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
