Nebraska Homeschooling: K12 Homeschool Legacy

Homeschooling is a breath of fresh air for families who are tired of the issues with traditional education. It gives a chance for these families to educate their children at home independently.

Homeschooling in Nebraska

Parents in Nebraska can homeschool their children, but need to submit a notice of intent to the state each year. This notice includes basic information like the child’s name and age. 

Homeschool Curriculum

Successful homeschooling happens when parents choose the right curriculum and follow specific standards. We have detailed how to select the right homeschooling curriculum in this article. We explained how to work with standards, helping choose the correct subjects and programs in this article.

Starting Homeschooling

Nebraska requires parents to notify the state about homeschooling each year. Parents choose a curriculum meeting state requirements and begin teaching the required subjects at home.

Homeschool Groups and Co-ops

Parents and students use local homeschool groups like Classical Conversations and online support groups like The Homeschool Mom Community. These groups provide families with support and help children achieve better results. 

Homeschool co-ops bring families together to share teaching responsibilities. Co-ops provide group classes, field trips, and social activities. Students get valuable experience by participating in such activities and don’t feel lonely as they make new friends.

Recordkeeping and Compliance

Parents must maintain accurate attendance records for their homeschool. The state requires at least nine months of instruction each year. These records have to be available if requested by state authorities.
