Homeschool requirements in Kentucky
Content last reviewed · Source: www.education.ky.gov · Not legal advice.
Here's how homeschool record-keeping generally works in Kentucky, and how FaithSchool keeps your hours, attendance, and portfolio organized so you can prove it when someone asks.
What this jurisdiction expects
Under the HSLDA framework this is a low-regulation state: typically a notice or affidavit (sometimes annual), with no required standardized testing or evaluation.
We show the published HSLDA regulation tier here rather than specific hour, day or filing numbers, because those vary and change. Confirm the exact, current requirements with the official source below and HSLDA before you rely on them.
What to keep on file in Kentucky
The sourced row for Kentucky shows the regulation level “Low” above — it does not list per-item filing numbers on this page. What follows is the records habit that matches that level: keep the file as you go, and confirm current requirements with the official regulator linked below before you rely on them.
- A dated copy of the notice or affidavit, if your path includes one — low-regulation states typically turn on a notice, not a running file.
- An hours and attendance log — with no number listed on this page, your dated log is the answer to “how many days?”.
- Subject and curriculum notes, so the taught year is documentable without a rebuild.
- Dated work samples per subject — the currency of transfers and transcripts in every state.
- If you move to a stricter state, expect filings this list cannot predict — re-check the destination page before you move.
