Getting started

Alaska offers multiple homeschool paths. The simplest is the private home study option, which requires filing a notice of intent with your local school district by October 1. Alternatively, Alaska's state-funded correspondence programs provide curriculum resources and some funding — but come with more oversight.

Requirements

Private homeschoolers face minimal requirements. A notice of intent and a basic education are the primary obligations.

Keeping records

Keep records for your own planning and for eventual college applications.
