Summary of the Law

 
(Nothing herein should be construed as the giving of legal advice. For legal advice, we would recommend that you consult an attorney.)

Compulsory Attendance Ages:
From ages 7 to 17.


According to Home School Legal Defense Association's August 1998 publication on Colorado's Homeschool Law, there are 3 options for homeschoolers in Colorado:
  1. Home school statute CRS - 22-33-104.5 Requires notice of intent 14 days before homeschooling and annually thereafter. Notice must include names, ages, residence, and hours of attendance of children taught. A sample notice of intent can be accessed here.
  2. Enrolled under Colorado "independent school" but teaching occurs in the home. A list of independent schools is available on the CHEC website. This usually requires a fee of $30-$200 per year paid to the independent school.
  3. A parent may teach children at home as a licensed teacher in the state of Colorado.
