Oklahoma Homeschooling Laws

While the state does not burden homeschooling parents with strict requirements, Oklahoma DOE does require that children start instruction at age 5 until at least 18 years of age and receive instruction for at least 180 days per school year. The Oklahoma DOE also suggests that the instruction provided should be equivalent to the education provided by the state.

Oklahoma Homeschool Associations

Statewide homeschool associations act as both a support network and a guidebook to the homeschooling process. Prospective, new, and even veteran homeschool parents can benefit from a membership. These associations walk you through every step of your homeschooling journey, alert you to changes in the state homeschooling law, offer a calendar of homeschooling enrichment activities and events, host an annual convention, provide a list of support groups by region, and much more.
