Indiana Homeschool Overview
Indiana treats homeschools as private schools under IC 20-33-2-12. This gives families significant freedom. There is no registration requirement, no curriculum approval, no standardized testing mandate, and no portfolio requirement. Families simply need to provide instruction in the subjects covered by Indiana's public school curriculum.
IN Homeschool Requirements
- No registration with the school district or state required
- No curriculum approval needed
- No standardized testing required by the state
- No portfolio submission required
- Instruction in English required
- Compulsory attendance age: 7–18 years old

Recommended Subject Areas
While Indiana doesn't mandate specific subjects, covering these areas ensures genuine equivalence with Indiana public school standards:
- Language arts (reading, writing, grammar, literature)
- Mathematics
- Social studies (history, geography, civics, economics)
