Puerto Rico Education Code For Homeschooling

This is not intended to be legal advice and is distributed for information purposes only. Check for updates at your public library.

Compulsory attendance - 6 to under 18.

Parent Qualification: There are no teacher qualification requirements for non-governmental schools.

Standardized tests: Not required for non-governmental schools.


There are no homeschool statutes per se, however these are the alternative statutes allowing homeschooling:

  1. Instruction in the elementary and secondary school shall be free and shall be compulsory in the elementary schools to the extent permitted by the facilities of the state. Compulsory attendance at elementary public schools shall not be construed as applicable to those who receive elementary education in schools established under non-governmental auspices.
  2. Attendance at public schools shall not be compulsory for those who are receiving education in schools established under the auspices of non-governmental entities.
  3. Most homeschools operate as non-governmental schools. Non-governmental schools are not clearly defined or regulated by law. Only "primary or secondary academic" schools which " declare, promises, announces, or expresses the intention of granting certificates, diplomas, degrees, or licenses" are required to be licensed. It seems that only these private "diploma" schools are under Puerto Rico's private school regulation.
