Homeschooling in Nevada

What Nevada actually asks of a family teaching their own children. Written plainly, and honest where the answer is that nobody asks for anything.

United StatesFiling required

Who is in charge

Board of trustees of the resident school district

Who actually reviews your child

The district accepts the filing. There is no academic review and no testing requirement.

What you must file

Notice of Intent to Homeschool

Before beginning, or within 10 days of formal withdrawal from public school

Goes to: Resident school district

Re-filed only if the parent's or child's name or address changes, or the child re-enters homeschooling after public-school enrolment.

Educational plan of instruction

With the notice

Goes to: Resident school district

A plan naming the subjects is filed with the first notice. The statute bars the district from demanding information beyond what the section requires.

The part the paperwork does not cover

Filing on time is the easy half. The harder half is the year in between: showing what your child actually learned, in words the reviewer recognises, without turning your home into a school.

That is what this tool is for. You say what your child did, in a sentence. It maps that to the published standards we hold for Nevada, which today are Mathematics (487 of 496) and Science (525 of 535). Those figures count the topics we carry for ages 5 to 12 that cite one of Nevada's published standards. We do not hold Nevada's own standards for English and Social Studies yet, and they are being added. Physical Education is not in the app for Nevada yet. A moment in any of those subjects is kept on the general map for your child's age and named that way in the record, so the record never cites Nevada's curriculum where we hold none of it. Then it builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.
