How to start homeschooling
​in Colorado

The Basics

​
File a notice of intent (noi) to homeschool with any district in the state 14 days before starting your homeschool. Here is a notice of intent sample.  You may also hear this called a letter of intent (loi.)  

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.  You do not need to turn this in unless requested.  Just keep this in your own files. 

​Keep immunization records or an exemption form.  You do not need to turn this in unless requested.  Just keep this in your own files.

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.

Here is a link to information about homeschooling in Colorado from the Colorado Department of Education.

Here is a sample notice of intent to homeschool in Colorado.  This can be sent to any district in Colorado.  It does not need to be the school district where you reside.  Here is the same sample in a Google Doc.
