Mississippi Homeschooling Laws
Overview
- Children between ages 6 through 17 years
- Parents who wish to home school their children should contact their local School Attendance Officer (SAO)
- Parents required to fill out a simple enrollment form and describe the curriculum used.
- Parent completes “certificate of enrollment” and return it to the school attendance officer where such child resides on or before September 15 of each year.
- Parents should keep a copy of the enrollment form for their records.
- Mississippi College- and Career-Readiness Standards (MCCRS). The MCCRS provide clear expectations of what a student should know and be able to do at each grade level. Aligning instruction with these standards and competencies will ensure a smoother transition should the child return to public school.
- Maintain a portfolio for each child that contains samples of activities, assignments, projects, and assessments, as well as a log of books and materials used.
- Portfolio to include results of any national assessments.
