Step by step

1. 1

   Understand Nevada's homeschool law

   Nevada has light but formal homeschool requirements with no mandated hour or day minimums, and you'll file notice with your local school district.

2. 2

   Withdraw from public school (if enrolled)

   To withdraw your child from public school in Nevada, send a written withdrawal letter to the principal or registrar, then file a notice of intent with your local school district so the transition is on record before instruction begins. Rather than hand-writing the withdrawal letter, Homeschool Fox produces a pre-formatted PDF ready to send to the district.

3. 3

   File your notice of intent

   Yes, Nevada requires you to file notice of your intent to homeschool. You must notify your local school district. You file it once, when you start, rather than every year.

4. 4

   Plan your subjects

   Nevada requires instruction in language arts, math, science, and social studies, though not every subject has to be taught every year. Beyond these requirements, you have flexibility to add subjects that interest your family.

5. 5

   Set your hours or days target

   Nevada does not mandate a specific number of instructional hours. Families have flexibility in determining their own schedule and pace of learning.

6. 6

   Track your hours and keep records

   Log activities as they happen so hours, attendance, and subject coverage build up automatically. Homeschool Fox lets you log from your phone or by voice and generates a Nevada-specific compliance report when you need it.
