How to Homeschool in Connecticut

No mandatory filing today. Connecticut enacted a notice law (Public Act 26-37, May 2026) that phases in an annual Oct 1 notice to your district beginning the 2028–29 school year; until then a voluntary NEP form is optional.

Is homeschooling legal in Connecticut?

Yes — homeschooling is legal in every U.S. state. Connecticut is a no-notice state, meaning you can begin homeschooling without notifying anyone or filing paperwork. Children roughly ages 5–18 must be enrolled in school or a legal homeschool.

How to get started

In Connecticut, Connecticut does not require you to file anything to begin — you can simply start.

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.
