Home Schooling Law in Oregon

There are lots of online home schooling resources and I’m highlighting only these two, both of which have good links to Oregon home schooling laws:

1) Oregon Department of Home Schooling

“Home schooling is an alternative education option in Oregon. Parents who choose to home school their children must register at their local Education Service District (ESD). Curriculum and assignments are not provided by the state, however, testing is required at grades 3, 5, 8 and 10. Please review the guidelines, Q & A and laws and rules for more information on home schooling….” (link to full ODHS website)

2) OHEN: The OHEN homepage has links to homeschooling news and laws, among many other resources:

“OHEN is an inclusive, statewide, nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting all of Oregon’s homeschooling families. OHEN supports the right of all homeschoolers to educate their children with as little government intervention as possible. Celebrating the diversity within our homeschooling community, OHEN welcomes any person without regard to educational philosophy, religion, creed, race, color, gender, or ethnic or national origin.”
