Homeschooling in Arkansas
View Our Lesson Demos

Any child between the ages of 5 and 17 is required to attend school in Arkansas. But for many years, homeschooling has been one of the legal avenues for fulfilling that obligation. If you are considering this option for your family, there are laws you should follow. Time4Learning has compiled up-to-date information on many aspects of homeschooling in the state, including how to homeschool in Arkansas, sources for state and local support, choosing curriculum, and even places for educational field trips.

This information should by no means be interpreted as legal advice. It is your responsibility to interpret and understand the laws that you will be homeschooling under.

How to Start Homeschooling in Arkansas

Few states have such a simple and straightforward process for starting homeschooling as the southern state of Arkansas. The steps to homeschooling are as easy as:

  1. Submitting a notice of intent to homeschool either online, by mail, or in person to the local school superintendent’s office by August 15 of each year or at least 14 days prior to withdrawing the student from school.
  2. Choose the ideal curriculum for your family.
  3. Starting to enjoy learning together!

Arkansas Homeschooling Laws

Families homeschooling in Arkansas have very few regulatory burdens. Once you have filed your notice of intent to homeschool with the local school superintendent, you are free to choose your own curriculum, to design a customized schedule for your student, and to teach according to your child’s specific learning style. For more information on Arkansas homeschool requirements, visit our Arkansas Homeschooling Laws page.

Arkansas Homeschool Associations

The purpose of a state-level homeschool association is to provide homeschoolers in that state with the most up-to-date information about homeschooling as well as notice of any current or potential changes to state laws regarding home education. To find out more about the specific homeschool associations available to you, visit our Arkansas Homeschooling Associations page.

Arkansas Homeschool Groups and Co-ops

Naturally, once you begin homeschooling, you’ll have many questions. Finding a state, regional, or local support group can be the ideal way to share concerns, get advice, and simply network with other homeschoolers near you. Start exploring homeschool support groups near you on our Arkansas Homeschool Groups and Co-ops page.

Arkansas Homeschool Field Trips

One of the absolute best things about homeschooling is having the flexibility to tie what you are learning to hands-on activities and learning experiences. To help you discover educational field trip opportunities around the state of Arkansas, we’ve compiled a beginning list of natural, historic, and cultural destinations for students in our Homeschool Field Trips in Arkansas post. Please make sure to contact each site before you plan your visit, as COVID-19 may have impacted their hours of operations.

Arkansas State Test Prep

Time4Learning curriculum provides standards-based instruction in areas that are most often tested on nationally-normed tests, but it also provides test prep practice in specific grade levels. If standardized testing is something you would like your child to participate in, he or she will need to become familiar with test formats and terminology, to learn test-taking strategies. To become comfortable with time restrictions, and to practice answering different types of questions. Many families choose to take part in either annual or occasional benchmark testing to track their child’s academic progress from year to year. Learn more in our Arkansas test prep page.
