Homeschool Laws in Indiana

Indiana is homeschool-friendly — no notice required to the state, just keep attendance records.

Yes, homeschooling is legal in Indiana and the state asks for almost nothing. You don't have to file a notice of intent, register, or submit any curriculum. The only legal requirement is 180 days of instruction per year and keeping attendance records. The state DOE runs an optional online registration for homeschools so you can be counted in non-public school statistics, but it's voluntary. If you withdraw a kid from public school, the school may ask for documentation that you're now homeschooling.
