American Home Schools |
Louisiana options when deciding to homeschool include registering as a private school or pursuing state-approved home study. For state-approved home study, homeschoolers follow the guidelines of the Department of Education. To choose the private school option, parents register with the state of Louisiana as a private school by sending in an annual letter of intent indicating the number of children enrolled.

Summary:
You may notify the DOE of your intent to homeschool as a private school by sending in an annual letter of intent1. It is not necessary to use the form that the DOE supplies. You may send the letter within 30 days of beginning your private-school homeschool. The 30 day time frame was established as a means for the state to count the number of children in private schools at the beginning of each school year. If you start in the middle of the current school year there will be no problem. If you send the letter and a duplicate by certified mail, you may expect the stamped duplicate to be returned. This is all you may expect to hear from the state.
