Non-Public School Law

Please Note: Colorado Law has three options for homeschooling. This page covers Non-Public School Law. Make sure this is what you’re looking for by checking out this breakout of the options.

What is a Non-Public School?

Under the Non-Public School Law, independent schools (such as CHEC’s) serve as an “umbrella” for Colorado homeschooling families.

Find all the Non-Public School laws here.  Independent schools are responsible to follow the Non-Public School laws.  Each individual independent school then sets its own policies.

Benefits of homeschooling under a Non-Public School (Independent School)

When you choose to homeschool under the Non-Public School law, you can . . .

  • Decide on the independent school that’s best for your family
  • Educate your children at home
  • Submit records directly to the independent school (not the local school district)
  • Fulfill the requirements of the independent school instead of the Homeschool Law

Colorado has lots of independent schools available to choose from.  We recommend our very own – the CHEC Independent School.
