Answer 0203: What are the actual homeschooling laws for Indiana?

You might be surprised to know that homeschoolers do not exist in Indiana ... legally. In other words, homeschoolers are not legally defined in the Indiana code. Parents who educate their children on their own, whether in a home, or cooperative or take total responsibility for the education of their children... are in the same legal category as non-accredited, non-public schools. Private schools. We've written an article explaining the Indiana Education Code in English, which also includes the original, eye-glazing text for your reading pleasure. (Works better than sleeping pills!)

If you are wondering how to go about legally homeschooling your child, especially if he or she is currently enrolled in public school, read the Getting Started section of this FAQs Database.
