Homeschool Laws in Nebraska

Nebraska treats homeschools as 'exempt schools' — file forms annually with the state DOE, no testing required.

Yes, homeschooling is legal in Nebraska. Homeschools are classified as "exempt schools" under state law. By July 15 each year, you file two forms with the Nebraska Department of Education: Form A (Notice of Intent and Information for Exempt School Program) and Form B (Parent's Statement of Belief or Statement of Election). The Form B is interesting — it states either a religious basis for the exemption OR an election to be exempt because state regulation would interfere with your educational decisions. Both are equally valid. No standardized testing, no curriculum approval required.
