Connecticut homeschool laws
How to homeschool in Connecticut
Nothing to file today. The state suggests an optional notice of intent and an optional yearly portfolio meeting. Neither is required, and neither is an approval. New rules are coming. From July 1, 2027, withdrawing a child from public school to homeschool means signing a withdrawal form in person and a records check of the adults in the household. From the 2028-29 school year, every family files a yearly declaration of how each child is educated.
