American Home Schools |
Nebraska home schools are considered private schools. Parents may educate their child at home by filing for an exemption from state requirements on the basis of either "sincerely held religious beliefs" (Rule 13) or because the requirements "interfere with decisions of the parents or legal guardians in directing their child's education." (Rule 12) Private schools are required to teach certain subjects and provide a certain length of term. Paper work must be filed by August 1 or thirty days prior to the start of homeschooling. Parents must submit reliable proof of the child's identity and age
