Homeschooling in Arizona: Requirements, Records & How to Get Started
Everything Arizona families need to homeschool with confidence — the one-time affidavit in plain English, plus the records worth keeping.
Arizona homeschool law, summarized
Arizona keeps it simple with a one-time affidavit of intent
What Arizona actually requires
Arizona is a low-regulation state. Within 30 days of starting to homeschool, you file a notarized affidavit of intent with your county school superintendent. That single filing is the main requirement — there’s no annual renewal and no standardized testing.
You teach the required subjects — reading, grammar, mathematics, science, and social studies — and the state asks for no further reporting or assessment. Keeping your own attendance and progress records is simply the best way to document a solid education if it’s ever needed.
