Important Note! Home schooling is one of the options available for meeting the state's compulsory attendance law, Section 167.031, RSMo. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education does NOT regulate or monitor home schooling in Missouri. Neither the State Board of Education nor the Department have authority to issue regulations or guidelines concerning home schooling.
Public school districts should have a written board adopted "assignment to grade level" policy which addresses the transfer of students from one school to another. This policy should address the transfer of grades and credit requirements for that district. The Department recommends requesting the policy from the enrolling district for more information regarding that district's transfer policy. Many school district policy manuals are available on that district's website.
The documents and resources listed below are intended to answer the most common questions about home schooling.
