Moving from Nevada to Oregon
Once you are a Oregon resident you homeschool under Oregon's rules. These are the ones that change.
- Oregon names no required subjects. Nevada's list is still a sensible course plan; it stops being a legal one.
- Oregon requires standardized testing, at specified grade levels. Nevada had no assessment rule, so plan for it in your first year.
Moving from Oregon to Nevada
Once you are a Nevada resident you homeschool under Nevada's rules. These are the ones that change.
- Nevada names 4 required subjects (language arts, math, science, social studies). Tag activities to them so a gap shows before the year ends.
- Nevada requires no testing or evaluation. Keep Oregon's past results with your records; colleges may still ask for them.
What stays the same
Nevada and Oregon match on notice of intent, hours or days per year, the portfolio, progress reports, compulsory school ages, ESA funding, and public school sports access. Your habits on those carry over unchanged.
Do your records transfer?
Neither Nevada nor Oregon takes homeschool records from another state, and there is no transfer process between them. You keep your own: the hours or attendance log, work samples, and any grades or transcripts. Those are what the new state, and later a college, may ask to see. Homeschool Fox keeps them in one account that moves with your family.
