The Legal Definition of Homeschooling
A school, whether incorporated or unincorporated, that:
- Has as its primary purpose the provision of private or religious-based instruction;
- Enrolls children between the ages of seven years and the compulsory attendance age for the school district in which the home school is located, of which no more than four are unrelated by affinity or consanguinity in the third degree;
- Does not charge or receive consideration in the form of tuition, fees, or other remuneration in a genuine and fair exchange for provision of instruction;
- Does not enroll children who participate in the program established in sections 135.712 to 135.719 and sections 166.700 to 166.720; and
- Is not an FPE school
What About Virtual School Options?
K12, MOCap, and several other virtual schools are viable, school-at-home, public school options for many families. But by definition, they are public school options. Therefore they operate and are subject to different laws and guidelines as home schools (nonpublic, non-accredited).
