Homeschooling in Arizona
ARIZONA'S HOMESCHOOL LAW Home education is legal in all 50 states. Arizona's Revised Statutes specifically provide for home instruction, and this state has one of the best homeschooling laws in the country. Teacher certification, academic evaluations, and achievement testing are not required. Only two documents are required to home school in Arizona: an affidavit of intent to homeschool & a certified birth certificate for each child.
