In Nebraska, homeschools are considered private schools but are also referred to as exempt schools by the Department of Education. Parents wishing to school their children under this option must file for exemption with the State Commissioner of Education by August 1 of each year (or 30 days before starting homeschool). Attendance is required for 1032 hours per year for students in elementary grades and for 1080 hours per year for students in high school grades. Language arts, math, science, social studies, and health are required subjects. Teacher qualifications are unspecified "unless the teacher is 'employed' by the family."
