Legal FAQ & Summary
Basically, just to clarify what's below.


IDAHO DOES NOT
REGULATE OR MONITOR HOME SCHOOL EDUCATION


Home school education is directed solely by the parent/guardian.



No registration or sign up procedure is required.

Parents research and select the curriculum they wish to use.

A "packaged" curriculum is NOT provided by the State.

All costs associated with home school are the responsibility of the parent/guardian (textbooks, supplies, etc.).

State funding is not available to provide assistance for home school.


By law, parents/guardians are required to provide "comparable instruction" in "subjects commonly and usually taught in public schools" "during a period in each year equal to that in which the public schools are in session."
