Homeschool Laws in Oregon
Oregon law requires parents or guardians who choose to educate a child at home to provide a one-time written notice to their local Education Service District, as set out under Or. Rev. Stat. § 339.035. This notification is submitted once rather than on a recurring annual basis. There is no approval process described in the provided facts — the filing of notice satisfies the state's requirement, and parents are not required to obtain permission from the district before beginning home instruction.
Oregon law under Or. Rev. Stat. § 339.035 requires that homeschooled students be assessed, and parents may choose among approved assessment options to satisfy this requirement. The law does not impose a state-mandated list of required subjects, meaning parents retain discretion over the curriculum they use. Oregon also imposes no formal qualification requirements on the parent or guardian serving as the home instructor.
Homeschool statutes are subject to amendment by the Oregon Legislative Assembly, with most changes taking effect on July 1 of the relevant year. The requirements described here reflect the facts available as of June 2026, and families are encouraged to confirm current requirements directly with the Oregon Department of Education or their local Education Service District.
