Louisiana Homeschool Laws

Overview

  • Students attend from age 6 through 18.
  • Must apply and be approved annually.
  • Louisiana families typically provide this independent education through a Board of Elementary and Secondary Education approved home study program or a nonpublic school (not seeking state approval).
  • To comply with state attendance laws, parents who want to educate their children in a home study program must apply and be approved annually by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. A child enrolled in an approved home study program is considered in attendance at school.
  • Parents who enroll their child in a home study program are solely responsible for deciding the curriculum and providing instruction. Louisiana does not provide funding or resources for home study programs.
  • Students in a home study program are not required to take state assessments. Students in a home study program may participate in interscholastic athletic activities.
  • Diplomas awarded through an approved home study program are recognized by all post-secondary educational institutions.
  • Please see the Home Study Guidelines PDFfor more information.
  • Families may now use a simple, user-friendly online application system to submit a home study application. This new system will allow families to easily complete and submit applications online, as well as receive automatic e-mails once the Department both receives and approves the application.
