How to start homeschooling in Nevada

Everything you need to legally begin homeschooling in Nevada, broken into clear steps. Plan to spend about an hour completing the paperwork before your first day.

The short version

Nevada requires a one-time Notice of Intent. After that, families operate independently with no further reporting.

The full process, step by step

Step 1

File the Notice of Intent to Homeschool with your local district (one-time).

Step 2

Submit an Educational Plan covering the required subjects.

Step 3

Submit a withdrawal letter to your child's public school if applicable.

Step 4

Begin teaching at home.

Step 5

No further notifications required after the initial filing.

Things that help on day one

A binder, folder, or app to keep paperwork in one place.
Your child's most recent report card or academic records.
A simple weekly rhythm sketched out — even one bullet list of subjects per day.
A camera or phone for documenting the first weeks of moments.
A list of any homeschool co-ops, libraries, or community groups in your area.
