home school
Kansas does not authorize "home instruction" or "home-schooling" specifically. However, the state does recognize Non-Accredited private schools. If you intend to home-school here in Kansas, you will need to register once with the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) to be classified as a Non-Accredited Private School. A non-accredited school satisfies compulsory attendance laws, but is not accredited by the State Board of Education.
There is no fee charged to register a school. You will register the name and address of the elementary or secondary school (home-school). Registration consists of filling out a simple form by mail or online. You will not receive any kind of confirmation.
Register online at:
