<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nHow to Start Homeschooling in Nevada <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
When you\u2019re ready to begin homeschooling in Nevada, you\u2019ll need to file a Notice of Intent to Homeschool<\/a> with your local school district. You must do this before you start homeschooling. If you withdraw your child from public school to begin homeschooling, you must file your notice within ten days of formally removing them. Just moved to Nevada? File your notice within 30 days of establishing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou only need to file this notice once for each child you homeschool unless you move or have a name change. In that case, you must file a new notice with the updated information within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> The school district needs to provide written acknowledgment that they received your notice of intent. Keep this acknowledgement for your files.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nNotice of Intent for Homeschooling in Nevada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Print a copy of the Nevada Notice of Intent to Homeschool<\/a>, or contact your local school district\u2019s superintendent\u2019s office for a copy. Complete the form, including the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- The child\u2019s full name, age, and gender<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Parent\/guardian\u2019s name and address information<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Signature verifying you have legal control of your child and the right to direct their education<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Name of Nevada public school most recently attended, if applicable<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Optional privacy statement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Along with the completed form, you must attach an educational plan for your child. Submit both of these to your local school district before you begin homeschooling your child.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBack to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nNevada Homeschool Educational Plan Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nevada\u2019s law requires homeschool parents\/guardians to submit an educational plan for their child. Create this plan and submit it only once, at the beginning of your child\u2019s homeschool education. You do not need to complete a new plan each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The law says your educational plan must include the following subjects, as appropriate for the age and level of your child:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- English: including reading, composition, and writing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Mathematics<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Science<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Social studies: including history, geography, economics, and government<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How specific does the Nevada homeschool educational plan need to be?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t need to create detailed lesson plans or even specify specific curriculum programs or courses of study unless you want to. The state requires an overview of your plan to teach the required subjects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The law says your learning goals should be \u201cappropriate for the age and level of skill of the child as determined by the parent.\u201d This gives home educators a lot of freedom in making their plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Nevada Homeschool Network<\/a> has more information on creating an educational plan including samples to guide you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nQualifications to Homeschool in Nevada <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In Nevada, parents and legal guardians don\u2019t need to be licensed, certified, or meet any other requirements to homeschool their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAll you need to homeschool is a passion for your child’s education and a willingness to put in the time and effort it requires.<\/em><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.homeschoolplus.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/parent-qualifications-1.png\")

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBack to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nMandatory School Age in Nevada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In Nevada children from age 7-18 are required to attend school or comply with homeschool laws. Children who are 6 years old and not planning to attend public school or start homeschooling in accordance with the laws will need to file a waiver. This waiver can be found with your local school district. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nNevada Homeschool Attendance Requirements <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nevada law doesn\u2019t set any attendance requirements or hours per day for homeschool instruction. In Nevada, public schools hold classes 180 days each year. Home educators can use this as a guideline but aren\u2019t required to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nevada doesn’t require home educators to keep or submit specific records while homeschooling. However, all families should consider establishing records for each child, including attendance, courses taken and grades earned, a portfolio of work samples, and any assessments or evaluations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
TIP:<\/strong> Good record keeping can be helpful if your student needs transcripts for post-high school plans or transitions back to public school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nNevada Homeschool Assessments and Evaluations <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Homeschool students are not required to participate in any standardized testing or assessments in Nevada. The law does entitle homeschoolers to participate in all college entrance exams, such as the PSAT, SAT, or ACT. Contact your local district if you want your child to take these exams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to complete the Notice of Intent to Participate in Programs and Activities<\/a> each year your child takes classes or participates in activities at a public school. You may also be required to provide proof of identity, such as a birth certificate.

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. Here are two options in Nevada to help you get started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Nevada Homeschool Network<\/a>: This statewide group works to build a collaborative community for all the state\u2019s homeschool families. Find resources, events, and other helpful services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
