| MONTANA HOMESCHOOL LAW
Compulsory School Age: 7 - 16 (or upon completion of the 8th grade, whichever occurs later) Montana state law offers one legal homeschooling option, which is to establish and operate a homeschool. Parents wishing to homeschool must annually submit a notice of intent to the local school superintendent. Children in grades 1 - 3 are required to attend 720 hours of instruction per year and children in grades 4 - 12 are required to attend 1080 hours of instruction per year. Children schooling under this option must receive an "organized course of study" similar to the "basic instructional program" as offered in the public schools; beyond this description, no specifications exist for required subjects. Attendance and immunization records must be maintained and made available to the local school superintendent upon request. There are no requirements regarding parent/teacher qualifications or testing. Find a homeschool group in Montana.
