* EASY to MODERATE*
Arizona is considered a homeschool-friendly state with relatively lenient regulations, according to HSLDA. Arizona law allows parents to educate their children at home, recognizing homeschooling as a private school education. Parents or guardians assume full responsibility for their children's education and must provide instruction in English. Parents must file a one-time Affidavit of Intent to homeschool with the county school superintendent, which does not require approval or ongoing reporting. There are no specific curriculum requirements, giving parents the freedom to choose or develop their own curriculum. Mandatory testing is not required for homeschool students. Arizona does not have specific teacher qualification requirements for homeschooling parents, who are considered the primary educators. Homeschool students can participate in public school extracurricular activities, such as sports and clubs, through the "Open Enrollment" option, though availability may vary by school district. Since homeschooling regulations can change, it is advisable to consult up-to-date information from reliable sources like HSLDA or the Arizona Department of Education to ensure compliance with current requirements.
