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

• •
  Home Education under ORS 339.035 : You notify your local Education Service District (ESD) within 10 days of starting and renew annually by August 15. No required subjects and no curriculum approval, but your child must take a standardized test at grades 3, 5, 8, and 10, administered by a qualified neutral person (not the parent). Scoring below the 15th percentile may trigger additional requirements.
• •
  Private School Enrollment : You enroll in a private or parochial school, which satisfies compulsory attendance without the ESD notification or standardized testing at grades 3, 5, 8, and 10. Some families form or join small private schools that function similarly to home education. Best for families who want to avoid the standardized testing requirements of the home education pathway.
