How do I homeschool legally? How do we test or do an evaluation? What records do I keep?

In this episode, Staci and Kim tackle one of the most frequently asked questions from new and veteran homeschoolers alike:

“Am I doing this legally?”

We break down state-specific homeschooling laws—focusing on Colorado, with helpful insights into Florida and Texas—and explain exactly what’s required to stay compliant. From notice of intent (NOI) and testing options to umbrella schools, evaluations, attendance tracking, and recordkeeping, this episode provides clarity and reassurance for every homeschool parent wondering if they’re doing it “right.”

We also share why testing might not be the best fit for every student, what an evaluation actually looks like, and how Statheros Academy provides legal coverage, coaching, and recordkeeping tools that take the guesswork out of homeschooling.
