Is homeschooling legal in Oklahoma?
The legal right to homeschool was written into the State Constitution; granting an exception to compulsory education if “other means of education” were provided. Our state’s founders were forward-thinking people who recognized the right of the people to direct the education of their children. Oklahoma’s laws pertaining to homeschooling are detailed on our Oklahoma Laws page. Homeschoolers are encouraged to read them and know their rights and responsibilities, but they may be briefly stated as this: Legal requirements for homeschooling in Oklahoma consist of providing an education for children ages 5 to 18 that is in good faith and equivalent to that provided by the state for at least 175 days per year.
