Homeschooling in Kendall-Whittier

Some Kendall-Whittier families choose to educate their children at home rather than enroll them in a traditional public or private school.

Oklahoma allows homeschooling and gives families considerable flexibility in how they educate their children.

Parents are responsible for providing an education that meets the state's compulsory education requirements. Oklahoma does not generally require families to register their homeschool, obtain state approval, or participate in state testing.

This discussion is for homeschooling families, parents considering homeschooling, and residents interested in alternative educational opportunities.
