Tips for Homeschooling in Nevada

  1. 1

    File your notice on time: "File written notice of intent with the county school district superintendent before beginning or within 10 days of formally withdrawing from public school.". Set a calendar reminder 2 weeks before to prepare documents.

  2. 2

    No formal assessment is required in Nevada. Consider voluntary portfolio tracking to document your child's progress for college applications.

  3. 3

    Join a local Nevada homeschool co-op or support group. Peer connections help with curriculum sharing, field trips, and social opportunities for your learner.
