Homeschool
Oklahoma has basically no requirements for your homeschool. There are some recommendations from the Oklahoma State Department of Education, however.
Can I Teach?
There is no requirement for you to meet in order to teach.
Do I Have to Notify the State?
No. Oklahoma doesn’t require a notification by law, but the Department of Education does recommend you provide a written notification to your local principal so your child isn’t marked absent.
How Many Days a Year do I Have to Teach?
There is no specific requirement, however the Department of Education recommends that you provide at least 6 hours of instruction per day for 180 days.
Compulsory Attendance Age
The compulsory attendance age is the age range in which your child must be attending school of some type.
In Oklahoma, your child must attend school from ages 5 through 18 years old.
Public School Sports
The Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association does not allow for homeschool students to participate in their sports and activities.
