Texas Homeschooling Laws
Homeschooling regulations in Texas are relatively low, which is a major perk if you are looking for educational flexibility. Texas homeschools are considered private schools. To legally homeschool, you will need to follow these requirements:
1. Teach the following required subjects:
- Math
- Reading
- Spelling and grammar
- Good citizenship
2. Use a visual curriculum. The private school law as interpreted by the Texas Supreme Court requires that you use some form of written curriculum (e.g., books, workbooks, videos, online programs)
3. You must operate your homeschool in a “bona fide” manner. This means your homeschool cannot be a sham. Your child should not stay home to get out of school, and your child must actually be taught at home.
