Do states require a set number of homeschool days or hours?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
Many do not. Among the 49 states in Peabody's checked law pages, 31 set no required number of days or hours that we found, and the others ask for days, hours or both. The year calendar page quotes each state's wording with a link to its statute.

This is a plain-words summary, not legal advice. Laws change: check your state's current law and its education department before you act.
