Arizona Homeschooling Laws

A few of the homeschool laws parents in Arizona need to know about include:

  • All children ages 6 to 16 must attend school under compulsory education laws, and home education is one way to fulfill this obligation.
  • You must submit a notarized affidavit of your intent to homeschool to the superintendent’s office of the student’s home county school district.
  • If you end your period of homeschooling you must notify your superintendent’s office within 30 days of enrolling in another school (unless your student has graduated).

Arizona Homeschool Field Trips

Homeschooling isn’t all lessons and instruction, of course. Home education offers families the flexibility to learn when, where, and how they determine best. And for many families, that includes abundant opportunities to take their homeschool on the road for day trips and excursions that allow for hands-on, experiential learning. Please make sure to contact each site before you plan your visit, as COVID-19 may have impacted their hours of operations.
