Frequently Asked Questions

What are Texas homeschool requirements?
Texas homeschools are considered private schools. There is no requirement to notify the state, submit curriculum, or test students. You must teach reading, spelling, grammar, math, and good citizenship using a written curriculum in a bona fide manner.
Can homeschooled students play sports for their local school district in Texas?
Texas UIL rules generally do not allow homeschooled students to participate in public school sports. However, many homeschool sports leagues, co-ops, and private school partnerships offer athletic opportunities.
