The Idaho rules in plain English - notice, testing, records, and the dates families actually miss. Verified against the official sources below on 2026-10-18.
Before anything else: this is orientation, not legal advice. Requirements change and local offices have their own habits. The sources at the bottom are the authority - check them before you file.
No registration, notice, or approval required.
Where it goes: No one
No state testing requirement.
Subjects: Instruction in subjects commonly and usually taught in the public schools (Idaho Code 33-202), for a period equal to the public school session
Records: No state records mandate. Keep a transcript - the state issues nothing for homeschoolers.
Want this handled? The Records Office drafts your Idaho notice or filing every year, keeps the deadline calendar, and builds the transcript and course descriptions colleges expect. Founding families: $99/year.
