How to start homeschooling
in Colorado
The Basics
File a notice of intent to homeschool with any district in the state 14 days before starting your homeschool. Here is a notice of intent sample.
Keep attendance records. The state of Colorado requires 172 days, 4 hours a day. You can check off on a calendar your school days to meet this requirement.
Keep immunization records.
Students in grades 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 must take a nationally standardized test OR have an evaluation (click here to see how simple and easy evaluations can be!) Results from either option are to be submitted to the district where you filed your letter of intent.
