Welcome to A to Z Home's Cool Oklahoma Homeschool page. Oklahoma
is the only state in the U.S. where the right to homeschool is
provided for in its constitution. This makes homeschooling in
Oklahoma very easy and unregulated. Although school officials
occasionally sends out notices requiring notification, this is
not the law and is not recommended. All you are required to do
is keep track of 180 days of school, teach the basics (reading,
writing, math, science, citizenship, U.S. constitution, health,
safety, physical education, conservation), and enjoy! One of
several good contacts about homeschooling in Oklahoma is Cindy
Downes at Oklahoma
Homeschool. Others are in the links below. [Note: you may
contact Cindy about Oklahoma Homeschooling concerns. Contact
Ann Zeise, the webmaster, about general homeschooling concerns
through the "Contact" link at the bottom of this page.]
