What Is Required
Illinois treats a compliant homeschool as a private school. Instruction must be in English and include language arts, mathematics, biological and physical science, social science, fine arts, and physical development and health at a level corresponding to the learner’s age and public-school grade. Registration is not required, the state form is voluntary, and standardized testing is not required. The companion includes the subject crosswalk, attendance/work portfolio, and a recommended written withdrawal record.
Tier 3 State Companion: Editable, parent-reviewable 36-week Curriculum Summary Draft with student and grade/year details, parent and instructor fields, four nine-week review/report dates, and subject-by-subject scope, sequence, objectives, resources, methods, and progress evidence. It also adds English-language instruction, required subject areas, equivalent-instruction record, and voluntary withdrawal documentation. Parent review is required. Submit documents only when required for your confirmed state and pathway; keep retain-only items in your family records.
