Indiana homeschool recordkeeping requirements

Indiana does not impose heavy homeschool paperwork, but families should keep attendance records, a course list, work samples, and high school transcripts. Keeping clear withdrawal records is also wise if a child previously attended public school.

Indiana law is generally summarized as requiring instruction equivalent to public schools for the time public schools are in session, commonly understood as about 180 days each year.

No statewide testing is required for independent homeschoolers. Frequency: Not required.

1. 1Notice, affidavit, umbrella-school enrollment, or withdrawal copies if applicable.
