Oklahoma

In Oklahoma, homeschooling is regulated by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Parents or guardians who wish to homeschool their children in Oklahoma must follow certain requirements, including:

1. Notifying the Oklahoma State Department of Education in writing within 10 days of starting to homeschool
2. Providing the department with the name, age, and grade level of each child being homeschooled
3. Ensuring that the child receives instruction in the subjects required by Oklahoma law, which include reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science
4. Keeping records of the child's progress, including attendance records and samples of the child's work
5. Administering an annual standardized achievement test or alternative assessment to the child, or having the child's progress evaluated by a qualified third party

Families who do not follow these requirements may be subject to legal action. It is important for families considering homeschooling in Oklahoma to carefully review and understand the state's homeschooling laws, including Oklahoma Statutes § 70-1 et seq., to ensure that they are in compliance.
