According to the Kentucky Department of Education's website, it seems that the legal requirements for homeschooling in KY can be divided into administrative requirements and curricular requirements. I have summarized them below.

The administrative requirements:

*Each year, notify the local superintendant of your intention to homeschool and provide the names, ages, and residences of each of the children you plan to teach

*Record-keeping requirements:

-Keep records of courses taken and grades received for each child

-Maintain scholarship reports for each child that shows his or her progress

-The teaching parent is encouraged to keep a portfolio of each child's work throughout the year and update it yearly.

-Keep records of attendance

*The school term (based on public school's term):

-Minimum of 185 days/year, or 1062 hours of instruction/year

*Allow school officials to assess your homeschool and each child's progress

*If the child returns to public school, he or she will be placed in the appropriate grade according to his or her performance as the school sees fit

The curricular requirements:

*Instruction must be offered in English

*Subjects must include: reading, writing, spelling, grammar, history, mathematics, and civics.

Do you need your parents permission to become homeschooled?

Yes. It depends what kind of homeschooling you are doing and your age. If you are doing the book homeschooling, then it is more helpful to have a parent around to help you, but if you are 15 or older, it is not necessary, it is up to your parents. Online homeschooling is completely different, you can do it on your own because you can listen to the lessons.

Can someone other than the parent/guardian provide homeschooling at parent's request ?

It depends upon your state. There are many laws in different states that are intact to protect the rights of a child to a proper education. For example some states may require the person who the children currently live with to do the homeschooling. Other states require the person who is homeschooling to have pass certain tests and to have at least a high school diploma or higher. If you check out http://www.hslda.org/Default.asp?bhcp=1 you can find your state and the laws that pertain.


Does a parent need a high school diploma to homeschool their child?

The only qualification a parent needs is that they be the custodial parent of the child who is to be homeschooled. However, if the child receives instruction from someone other than the parent, that person needs to be a certified child educator. The same thing applies if a parent who is homeschooling their children decides to teach other children as well...the parent who is teaching those additional children would then need to have a teaching certificate. Qualifications vary depending on the legislation in each state. A good resource is The Homeschool Legal Defense Association: hslda.org/laws
