Homeschool Laws in Nevada
Under Nev. Rev. Stat. §§ 388D.020 and 388D.050, a parent or guardian who chooses to homeschool in Nevada must file a one-time notice of intent with the local superintendent. That notice is due within ten days of withdrawing a child from public school or within thirty days of establishing Nevada residency. The notice must include an educational plan for each child to be homeschooled. Once the initial notice is filed, a new notice is required only if the parent's name, the child's name, or the family's address changes; no annual renewal is otherwise needed.
Nevada does not require homeschooled students to undergo any standardized testing or other formal assessment. The educational plan submitted with the initial notice of intent must cover English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies — including history, geography, economics, and government as appropriate — for each child. Beyond preparing that plan at the time of notice, parents face no ongoing subject-reporting obligations. Nevada also imposes no academic or credentialing qualifications on the parent or guardian providing the instruction.
Homeschool statutes are subject to amendment by state legislatures, with most changes taking effect July 1 of a given year. Families should confirm that the requirements described here reflect current law by consulting the Nevada Department of Education or reviewing the Nevada Revised Statutes directly.
