Multiple ways to homeschool in Nevada

Nevada offers 2 different ways to homeschool. High school options like dual enrollment and sports access may vary by pathway.

  • Home Education Notification : You file a one-time written notice of intent with your local school district superintendent that includes a basic educational plan covering four core subjects. No testing, no annual renewal, no recordkeeping, and no ongoing reporting. Once filed, Nevada requires nothing more from you.
  • Exempt Private School : You register as an exempt private school with the Nevada Department of Education. This pathway is less commonly used for home-based education and involves state-level registration rather than a local filing. Most individual homeschool families choose the standard home education notification pathway instead.
