What Is Required
Kansas classifies a homeschool as a nonaccredited private school. Register the school’s name and address with KSDE once, notify the prior school when transferring, use competent instructors, and provide instruction substantially equivalent to the public-school term—currently described as at least 186 days of six hours or 1,116 hours for grades 1–11. The companion includes registration proof, withdrawal, time log, organized curriculum, and records.
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 one-time nonaccredited private school registration, withdrawal record, 186-day/6-hour or 1,116-hour calendar, and competent-instructor record. Parent review is required. Submit documents only when required for your confirmed state and pathway; keep retain-only items in your family records.

What Is Not Required
The guide separates mandatory steps from optional best practices and will not add a filing simply because a planner template exists.
