What is the law in Indiana concerning home educating?
Homeschools are considered private schools under the law in Indiana. Here are the general guidelines. * All children from 7-16 must be enrolled in a school that teaches in English. Kindergarten is not mandatory. * Parents need to keep track of attendance and be ready to show that as well as give an enrollment of how many children are in each grade. This would usually be asked by a local or state school superintendent.Home educators need to provide instruction for the same number of days required by public schools. Right now it is 180 days. * Homeschools need to offer an “equivalent” education to what the child would receive in a public school. First graders need to work on learning to read, etc. This should not be considered legal advice. We are not lawyers. If you have specific legal questions, we recommend you contact Home School Legal Defense (HSLDA).
