Oklahoma homeschool laws
Requirements summary
Oklahoma's constitution requires school attendance 'unless other means of education are provided.' The Attorney General has interpreted this to allow education at home, as long as it is given in good faith and is equivalent to the education the state provides. There is no requirement to register, seek approval, test, or report. Oklahoma law does not set a required number of homeschool days. The state education department suggests following the public school benchmark of 180 days a year, but says this is a recommendation and not a legal requirement.
You can generally start without filing paperwork with the state or district.
