Per HSLDA Website:

Beginning in October 2023, Ohio homeschoolers will operate under an exemption from compulsory school attendance under the newly created Ohio Revised Code § 3321.042.

Option 1: Homeschooling under Ohio’s homeschool statute

A parent may exempt their child from mandatory school attendance by directing their child’s education in the subject areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, history, government, and social studies. Follow these steps to homeschool under this option:  

  1. Submit an annual exemption notice to homeschool by August 30th.
  2. Teach the required subjects.
  3. There are no teacher qualifications, number of hours, or assessment requirements under this option. 

Option 2: Homeschooling as a nonchartered, nonpublic school (formerly known as an “-08 school”)

Parents may, because of truly held religious beliefs, organize a nonchartered, nonpublic school to educate their children. To use this option:  

  1. Make sure you have the required qualifications. 
  2. Operate for the required number of hours. 
  3. Teach the required subjects. 
  4. Follow regular procedures for promotion from grade to grade for pupils who have met the school’s educational requirements.
  5. Comply with state and local health, fire, and safety laws.
  6. Certify in a report (called the “report to parents”) that the school meets minimum education standards listed above.
  7. Report your school’s attendance to your local school board treasurer within the first two weeks of the beginning of the school year.
