Home educators are expected to provide their own resources and curriculum and pay for the required standardized testing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to homeschool in Oregon? &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every homeschooling family will spend different amounts of money on homeschooling. Homeschooling costs vary based on the curriculum you rent or buy, activities you participate in, and supplies you purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d9d9d9\"><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Using the public library system can save you money while homeschooling. The library is a treasure trove of free curricula, activities, and books for all reading levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I get a tax credit or deduction for homeschooling in Oregon? &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are not currently any tax credits, deductions, or grants available to help with homeschooling expenses in Oregon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Oregon homeschool friendly?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes! Oregon has a rich homeschool community and flexible homeschool laws. Homeschooling families in Oregon have access to hands-on education through field trips and advocacy through state-wide associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do Oregon homeschoolers get a diploma? &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oregon does not have set regulations for homeschool graduation. Home educators set their own educational guidelines for their students to meet in order to graduate. Once those requirements are fulfilled, students can be awarded their diploma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating a graduation plan, consider any prerequisites for your students\u2019 post-high school plans, such as college admission, trade school, or military service. These requirements can serve as a helpful framework for developing graduation criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#d9d9d9\"><strong>TIP: <\/strong>Some homeschooled high schoolers may choose to get their GED as a recognized and accepted diploma alternative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is unschooling legal in Oregon? &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unschooling is a legal and legitimate form of homeschooling in Oregon. Since homeschoolers don\u2019t have mandatory attendance, evaluation, or curriculum requirements, you choose teaching methods that work best for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Oregon does require standardized testing for the years your student completes grades 3, 5, 8, and 10. When making your plan to unschool, also consider that your student needs to reach the 15th percentile on their test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I enroll my child in public school after homeschooling in Oregon? &nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Oregon, families who have previously homeschooled their children can enroll them in public school. The process for enrolling in public school after homeschooling will depend on the school district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some districts, families will need to provide documentation that their child has completed the equivalent of the grade level they\u2019ll be entering, which may include a portfolio of work or transcripts from the homeschooling period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some school districts may require standardized test scores or a placement assessment. Some high school credits earned through homeschooling may not transfer to public school, so families may need to work with the school to develop a plan for meeting graduation requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:15%\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeschoolplus.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/FAQ.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17074\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"#contents\" title=\"\">Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-small-font-size\" id=\"short-legal-disclaimer\"><em>Legal Disclaimers<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-small-font-size\" style=\"color:#0342ec;letter-spacing:1.5px\"><em>\u201cThe information and materials provided are for informational purposes only, and does not constitute legal, or other professional advice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-small-font-size\" style=\"color:#0342ec;letter-spacing:1.5px\"><em>Any links provided to third-party resources are provided for convenience only.
