KENTUCKY HOMESCHOOL LAW

Kentucky compulsory attendance laws require that every child between the ages of 6 and 16 be enrolled in school.  This requirement may be met by attending public school, private school (including home school), parochial school, or church regular day school.  The parent or person in charge of the student is clearly charged with the responsibility to see that the child attends school.

In the case of home schooling, the parent is required to notify the local superintendent of schools by letter that the child is being home schooled.  The letter must include the names, ages, and place of residence of each pupil in attendance at the school.  The parent must notify the local superintendent of schools within the first two weeks of each school year of their intent to home school their child(ren).
