What Is Required
For Colorado’s nonpublic home-based education pathway, send an annual notice of intent to a Colorado school district at least 14 days before beginning, including the learner’s name, age, residence, and attendance hours. Plan for 172 instructional days averaging four contact hours, cover the listed statutory subjects, keep attendance, assessment/evaluation, and immunization records, and complete an assessment in grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. The companion also separates independent-school enrollment and certified-teacher alternatives.
