KENTUCKY HOMESCHOOL LAW
Compulsory
School Age: 6 - 16
Kentucky
state law offers one legal homeschooling option, which is to qualify a
homeschool as a private school. Kentucky recognizes homeschools as
private schools, and, therefore, parents/guardians must establish a
legitimate private school for their children to attend. In addition, the
local Board of Education must be notified within two weeks of the start
of each school year a parent's intent to educate at home. Children homeschooling under this option are
required to attend 185 days of instruction per year. Required
subjects include reading, writing, spelling, grammar, history, math, and
civics. Records must be kept on attendance and scholarship
reports. No statutes concerning minimum parent/teacher
qualifications exist.
