What does it mean to Homeschool under Arizona law?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

According to A.R.S. \u00a715-802(G)(2), Homeschool means a nonpublic school conducted primarily by the parent, guardian or other person who has custody of the child or nonpublic instruction provided in the child\u2019s home.<\/p>\n

Homeschoolers are parents or legal guardians who choose to educate their own children at home in at least the required subjects of reading, grammar, math, science, and social studies pursuant to A.R.S. \u00a715-802.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What documents do I need to submit in order to homeschool?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Parents who decide to homeschool are required to file an affidavit of intent to homeschool and provide additional documentation with the county school superintendent. This must be done for any homeschooled child and should be submitted to the county school superintendent within 30 days of starting to homeschool. You will only need to file this document once.<\/p>\n

The affidavit requires notarization and the original must be sent to your county school superintendent\u2019s office along with original proof of your child\u2019s birth. You may not send in any copies of birth certificates, original documents only will be accepted. Most families choose to mail in their documents, and the County will then mail the original birth certificate (or other proof of birth) back to you once they have made a photocopy for their records. Please see a list below of superintendent offices and contact the appropriate office for more information.<\/p>\n

If you decide to stop homeschooling, you must contact the county to complete the necessary paperwork to revoke your homeschool affidavit. You also need to update your address or any other records with the County should you move. The affidavit is available online at each County website below, or on\u00a0www.afhe.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
