Now here’s a few homeschooling questions you may have:

Is unschooling a type of homeschooling?

How does the state view those who choose to unschool?

Is unschooling even legal?

The answers to all of those questions are pretty simple.

While it is legal in all 50 states, even the states with the strictest educational laws, it’s really just a matter of working with the system as opposed to against it.

Additionally, unschoolers are as accountable to the government as homeschoolers, and can show “educational progress” (as defined by the state) just like children who learn by textbooks at home.

It’s also important to remember that each state is free to create its own legal structure for at home education, meaning not all states are as easy going on the regulations as others, so be sure to do your own research as well.

Below I’ll provide links to each state law so you can easily just click on the state you’re inquiring about.

However, try to keep in mind that because they don’t specify the method of unschooling, homeschooling laws are very similar and will provide you with all the information you need to come to your own informed decision.
