Other ways to homeschool in Nevada

This page covers Home Education Notification. Nevada offers 2 different ways to homeschool, and each may require different documents:

  • •
    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.
