Common questions about comparing states
How do homeschool laws differ between states?
Every state has its own homeschool laws covering notification requirements, testing, required subjects, instructor qualifications, and recordkeeping. Some states require no filing at all (like Texas), while others require detailed plans and annual testing (like New York).
What do I need to do when moving my homeschool to a new state?
When you move, you must comply with your new state's homeschool laws from scratch. Check the grace period, close out your old state if required, pack your records, and file in your new state immediately.
