Homeschooling in Indiana, Made Simple

Homeschooling in Indiana? Indiana keeps homeschooling simple: no registration required, no testing, and you set your own schedule. The only real challenge is teaching every subject yourself — and that’s what Get Classically Educated was built to solve. Live, expert-led classical classes carry the teaching load, so your child gets a rigorous education and your family keeps its time — on just four hours a week.

Is Homeschooling Legal in Indiana?

Yes — and it’s one of the most straightforward states. Here’s the whole picture:

• Provide 180 days of instruction. You decide which days you’re in session and how long each day runs.
• Keep attendance records. No special form is required; a local superintendent or the state attendance officer may request them to verify attendance.
• Reporting enrollment is optional. You may report your homeschool’s enrollment to the Indiana Department of Education, but you are not required to.
• No state testing. Indiana does not mandate standardized testing for homeschoolers.

You don’t need a teaching certificate to homeschool in Indiana.

What Indiana Requires You to Teach

Indiana asks for instruction equivalent to what public schools provide, without dictating a rigid subject list. Here’s where Get Classically Educated fits: we deliver a full classical education — great books, writing, logic, rhetoric, history, and civics — plus science, research, and hands-on experiments. The one subject we intentionally leave to you is mathematics, so you can pair GCE with whatever math curriculum fits your child. Because our program runs only about four hours of live class a week, you’ll have plenty of room to add math across your 180 days. You stay fully compliant with Indiana law, and your child gets a classical education most schools can’t touch.

How to Start Homeschooling in Indiana

1. If your child is in public school, withdraw them before you begin.
2. Choose your curriculum and start teaching your 180 days on whatever schedule works.
3. Keep simple attendance records. Reporting your enrollment to the state is optional.

We take the heaviest part — the actual teaching — off your plate.

Why Indiana Families Choose Get Classically Educated

Indiana gives you the freedom to homeschool. We give you a way to do it well without losing your life to it. That promise has a name: 4 Hours to Freedom. Your child attends about four hours of live, expert-led class each week and does no more than four hours of independent work a day — leaving real time for family, faith, activities, and rest.

What sets the program apart:

• Live, expert-led classes. Real teachers, real discussion — not videos your child watches alone.
• A true classical education. The trivium — grammar, logic, and rhetoric — taught through great books, writing, and Socratic discussion, so your child learns to think, not just memorize.
• Science, research, and experiments built in. The base program trades rote math drills for hands-on science and real research skills.
• Grades 3 through 12, one continuous journey. A coherent, rigorous path from the elementary years to graduation.
• One flat tuition. $1,200 per year for the full-year base program — no per-course surprises.
