| MASSACHUSETTS HOMESCHOOL LAW
Compulsory School Age: 6 - 16 (by December 31) Massachusetts state law offers one legal homeschooling option, which is to establish and operate a state-approved homeschool. Children schooling under this option are expected (not required) to attend 900 hours of instruction during elementary grades and 990 hours of instruction during secondary levels. Required subjects include reading, writing, English language and grammar, geography, math, drawing, music, history, U.S. Constitution, citizenship, health (including CPR), physical education, and good behavior. Testing is not required by state law, but may be considered during the approval process. There are no regulations requiring parent/teacher qualifications or recordkeeping for this option.
