FAQs:
Yes! There are several different ways to structure your homeschool under Colorado Law. Learn more here.
Following Homeschool Law by submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI)?
Once your child reaches age 6 by August 1st (and until they turn 16), you must submit an NOI annually. (However, you are not required to begin teaching until age 7.)
Enrolled in an Independent School?
When your child reaches age 6 by August 1st (and until they turn 17), they must be enrolled in an Independent School and be following its policies.
Check out this handy breakout here to learn more about the difference between the Homeschool Law and Independent School options.
The answer is no! You should not file a NOI as your students are considered private school students and are under the Colorado non-public school law. (Instead, you will send your records to the Independent School.) You can find more information about this option here.
If I’m following the Homeschool Law and submit my NOI, when is the deadline?
Under the Colorado Homeschool Law, you are required to submit a NOI to a Colorado school district (any one in the state) 14 days prior to starting the home education program. For more information and to view a sample NOI, click here.
