how do i start homeschooling?
Homeschooling can be a great way to educate your child, foster a strong and cohesive family life, and help you keep a firm grip on the influences that surround your children. Since 1982, Homeschool Louisiana has been advocating for home schoolers, and we are here to help and support you as you begin this journey.
Step 1 – Register your child or your homeschool with the Louisiana Department of Education.
You should notify the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) that you will be homeschooling your students by September of the year in which they turn 7 (5 for 2022-2023). If they were enrolled in school last year, you should register even if your children are under the required age.
