How to Homeschool in Arizona

File a one-time affidavit of intent with your county school superintendent within 30 days of starting. No testing or reporting.

Is homeschooling legal in Arizona?

Yes — homeschooling is legal in every U.S. state. Arizona is a low-regulation state, meaning you file a one-time notice or declaration, with no ongoing testing or reporting. Children roughly ages 6–16 must be enrolled in school or a legal homeschool.

How to get started

In Arizona, you send a notice to your county school superintendent. File the affidavit of intent with the COUNTY (not district) superintendent within 30 days of starting. One-time, with a withdrawal form when you stop.

Specific deadlines and details can change year to year and vary by district — always confirm the current rules with your district or state.

A quick, important note. This guide is general information to help you get oriented — it isn't legal advice. Homeschool requirements change and can vary by local school district. Always confirm the current rules with your school district or your state's Department of Education before you file. Last reviewed 2026-06-10.
