Can you homeschool without a degree in New Mexico?

The homeschooling parent must have a high school diploma or its equivalent, such as a GED.

Homeschooling is legal in New Mexico, but families do have to notify the state and meet several basic requirements.

Moderate to broad. Families choose their curriculum, but the HSLDA source says they should cover reading, language arts, math, social studies, and science.

1. 1Check New Mexico's notice rule: Yes. Parents must notify the New Mexico Public Education Department when they begin homeschooling and must renew that notice each year.
2. 2Calendar the deadline: Within 30 days of starting homeschooling and annually by August 1 thereafter.
3. 3Build around required subjects: Reading, Language arts, Math, Social studies, Science
4. 4Keep records that match the state summary: New Mexico appears to expect parents to keep immunization records. Families should also keep copies of their homeschool notices, attendance records, course lists, work samples, and high school transcripts, especially because the official state page was unavailable during source review.
5. 5Plan for testing or evaluation if required: The available raw sources reviewed here do not show a general statewide testing requirement for independent homeschoolers.
6. 6Use official source links before making a filing or deadline decision.
