Minnesota Homeschool Laws
- Students attend between the ages of 7 through 17.
- Must test every year.
- Home schools are required to provide basic communication skills, reading, writing literature and fine arts, social studies, history, geography and government, health and physical education.
- Parents must file a letter of intent each year and a full report for the first year.
- The homeschool program must be accredited, or the parent must submit instructor qualifications.
- Also, in the first year of homeschooling and in the 7th grade, immunization records must be submitted to the local school district.
- Homeschools are predominately financed by the parents, however Minnesota does have a Nonpublic Pupil Aids that parent may claim by September 15th of each year through their public school district superintendent’s office.
- Homeschools do not need to be accredited. However, one benefit of being accredited is being waived from a requirement for a nationally normed achievement test for each student ages 7-17 each year.
