Content last reviewed · Source: www.nd.gov · Not legal advice.
Here's how homeschool record-keeping generally works in North Dakota, 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 moderate-regulation state: notice plus a standardized test or professional 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 North Dakota
The sourced row for North Dakota shows the regulation level “Moderate” 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 your notice or registration — the filing the moderate level starts with.
- Assessment evidence — the test or evaluator review expected at this level — kept with the school year it covers.
- An hours and attendance log that lines up with the assessment window.
- Subject and curriculum documentation plus dated work samples.
- Cadence and paperwork vary within this level; the official regulator linked below is the arbiter, not this checklist.
