These deadlines are for Non-Accredited Non-Public School (Homeschool). Indiana offers 2 pathways, and each may have different deadlines:
- •Non-Accredited Non-Public School (Homeschool)(this page): Homeschools are non-public, non-accredited schools (IC 20-33-2-12). Your core duties are to provide instruction equivalent to that given in public schools (IC 20-33-2-28), aim for 180 days of instruction each year, and keep an accurate daily attendance record (IC 20-33-2-20). The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) says registration is not required and there are no records to send to IDOE. You provide attendance records only if the Secretary of Education or your local public school superintendent asks for them.
- •Accredited Non-Public School: You enroll your child in an accredited non-public school. Accreditation is something the school seeks and keeps with the Indiana State Board of Education, and the school is responsible for meeting its legal standards. Your family's duty is to have your child attend the school (IC 20-33-2-4, IC 20-33-2-5). You file nothing with the state.
