The Michigan 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.
Under exemption (f), no reporting at all - the Dept of Education plays no role and you do not register as a nonpublic school.
Where it goes: No one
No state testing or evaluation requirement under exemption (f).
Subjects: Reading, spelling, mathematics, science, history, civics, literature, writing, and English grammar (organized educational program)
Records: No state records mandate. Local districts enforce compulsory attendance, so a clean transcript and attendance habit settle questions fast.
Want this handled? The Records Office drafts your Michigan notice or filing every year, keeps the deadline calendar, and builds the transcript and course descriptions colleges expect. Founding families: $99/year.
