Other ways to homeschool in Oregon

This page covers Home Education under ORS 339.035. Oregon offers 2 different ways to homeschool, and each may require different documents:

  • •
    Home Education under ORS 339.035(this page): You notify your local Education Service District (ESD) in writing within 10 days of starting home education or withdrawing from school. There is no annual renewal. Oregon law lists no required subjects and no curriculum approval, but your child must take an approved standardized test by August 15 in grades 3, 5, 8, and 10, given by a qualified neutral person (not the parent). You send the results to the ESD if the ESD superintendent asks for them. Scoring below the 15th percentile may trigger additional requirements.
  • •
    Private School Enrollment: You enroll your child in a private or parochial school, which satisfies compulsory attendance under ORS 339.030(1)(a). The ESD notice and the grade 3, 5, 8, and 10 testing that apply to home education do not apply to this pathway.
