Key deadlines at a glance

Nevada's deadlines are relative to when you start homeschooling (e.g., “within 30 days”) rather than fixed calendar dates. See the sections below for details, or use the wizard to calculate your exact dates.

Filing deadlines

Initial filing deadline
Before beginning to homeschool; or not later than 10 days after formal withdrawal from public school; or not later than 30 days after establishing Nevada residency
Send to
superintendent of the local school district
Practical tip: The notice is one-time. File a new notice within 30 days if your name, your child's name or your address changes (NRS 388D.020(4)). Districts make available only the Department's standard form, and the superintendent must accept a complete notice and may not require or request any additional information or assurances (NRS 388D.020(1), (6)).

Other ways to homeschool in Nevada

These deadlines are for Home Education Notification. Nevada offers 2 pathways, and each may have different deadlines:

  • •
    Home Education Notification(this page): You file a one-time written notice of intent with the superintendent of your local school district before you begin, within 10 days of formally withdrawing your child from public school, or within 30 days of establishing Nevada residency (NRS 388D.020). You keep an educational plan covering English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, and you must be ready to present it with proof of identity if a court requires it (NRS 388D.050). No testing, no annual renewal, and no ongoing reporting. If your name or address changes, file a new notice within 30 days.
  • •
    Exempt Private School: You enroll your child in a private school that holds an exemption under NRS 394.211. Enrollment in a private school excuses compulsory attendance (NRS 392.070), so you file nothing yourself. The school files its exemption with the Nevada State Board of Education, renews it every 2 years, and is responsible for its calendar, subjects, teacher knowledge of the Constitutions and reports.
