Alaska Homeschooling
The links below to official Alaska homeschooling information were checked August 1, 2020. It is always best to directly read Alaska homeschooling information on the State of Alaska homeschooling or FAQ page, so you are getting current information!
Alaska Dept. of Education Website
Alaska Dept. of Education Alternative School web page
Alaska Correspondence Schools (Alaska-based public or charter)
Always check directly with the official Alaska Dept. of Education website to verify information. Even if some states may not require it, it is usually a good idea to let your last school know you will not be returning to avoid being counted as absent.
Apparent Requirements for all students not in public education:
According to the Alaska Dept. of Education FAQ page (https://education.alaska.gov/faq.html ), “Children schooled at home by their parents or guardians are exempt from the Compulsory School Attendance Law. Parents are not required to register with the state or their local school district, and no testing or other requirements are placed on home schools not funded with public dollars.”

For example, search for “homeschool”, “home school”, “home instruction”, “nonpublic”, or “compulsory school attendance”. However, be careful since a search may return results for old web pages or documents.
