How to Homeschool in Kansas

Register as a non-accredited private school by filing the school's name and address with the State Board. No testing.

Is homeschooling legal in Kansas?

Yes — homeschooling is legal in every U.S. state. Kansas is a low-regulation state, meaning you file a one-time notice or declaration, with no ongoing testing or reporting. Children roughly ages 7–18 must be enrolled in school or a legal homeschool.

How to get started

In Kansas, you send a notice to the Kansas State Board of Education. Register your home school's name and address with the KSDE non-accredited private school registration.
