North Dakota homeschool requirements, 2026-2027

Last checked against the statutes and the state's own guidance: 2026-09-04

What you must do this year, and by when

Testing grades and exemptions

GradeTest required?Exemption available?
4 Yes Yes
6 Yes Yes
8 Yes Yes
10 Yes Yes

Exemption: Claim a testing objection or a parent qualification on that year's statement.

No other grade has a routine North Dakota home-education test. The district pays for its test.

Two numbers matter later: a basic composite below the 30th percentile starts a school team's look and possibly a plan; a score under the 50th can lengthen monitoring, and whether it can start monitoring is unsettled (step 3).

Monitoring time without a diploma or GED

ChildrenApproximate time
11 hour each week
21 hour each week + 30 minutes each month
31 hour each week + 60 minutes each month
41 hour each week + 90 minutes each month
5 or more1 hour each week + 30 minutes for each child after the first, each month

The extra half hour per child is monthly, not weekly. The statute states the weekly hour for one child and the monthly half hour for each additional child. That the weekly hour continues with more children is this page's reading.

  • Five days before you begin, and every year after: a statement of intent for each child of compulsory-attendance age (seven until sixteen; step 2), to your district's superintendent, naming the child, the supervising parent and that parent's qualification, and any public school classes or activities. Fourteen days after a move into or between districts; the immunization record or your own signed objection and certified proof of the child's identity go with the statement.
  • All year: at least four hours a day on at least 175 days. A day only counts if it holds the four hours; 700 hours another way is not the rule.
  • Grades 4, 6, 8 and 10: a standardized test, given by someone licensed or approved to teach by the state board, or an exemption claimed on the statement (an objection to testing, or a parent who holds a license, an approval, a bachelor's degree, or a passing teacher-exam score).
  • All year, kept at home: a record of the courses taken and the progress checks, including any test results. Nothing else is required.
  • With the statement: the immunization record or your own signed objection, and certified proof of the child's identity.
  • If the supervising parent has no diploma or GED: a monitor for the first two years, about an hour a week; a score under the 50th percentile adds a year.

North Dakota's home education chapter, North Dakota Century Code (NDCC) chapter 15.1-23, asks a parent five things: state your qualification on each year's statement of intent, test in grades 4, 6, 8 and 10 unless you claim an exemption, teach four hours a day for 175 days, keep a short yearly record, and send immunization and identity papers with the statement. No parent is shut out for lack of a diploma; the difference is two years of monitoring, or longer while test scores stay low.

1. The diploma question, asked onceYour call, recorded here

North Dakota asks one thing about the parent doing the teaching. Do you have a high school diploma or a GED? Your answer decides the basic first-two-year monitoring rule. A separate question remains open. The statute's wording and the state department's published answer disagree about whether a low test score alone can start monitoring. The testing section below keeps that question open.

Both answers are fine. No North Dakota parent is shut out for lack of a diploma. Any page that says you must have one is wrong.

Your answerWhat follows
Diploma or GEDNo monitoring. Tick the box you actually hold; districts ask for a copy, usually once.
NeitherMonitoring for your first two years, by a teacher the district picks and pays for, or one you pick and pay for: about an hour a week for one child, plus a half hour a month for each extra child. The monitor's two reports a year go to the superintendent, not from you.
Monitoring finishedNo monitoring, for every child, once the two years and any extra year a score under the 50th percentile added are behind you. Check the finished-monitoring box on each new child's statement.

The three cards below carry the detail behind each row.

I have a high school diploma, or I have a GED
Either one means no monitoring. They are two answers, not one, and the state's form prints a separate box for each.
  • Monitoring: none. The law's own words give you none either way, whether you hold the diploma or the GED. One unsettled question can touch that, a low test score, and the testing card below tells that story straight.
  • Pick the one you actually hold. The law treats them the same, but the form does not: it has a diploma box and a GED box. Trellis ticks the box your answer names, because you sign that form.
  • On the form: check your box and attach a copy. The state law asks you to state your qualification, not to prove it. Districts ask for the copy anyway, and there is nothing to gain by arguing.
  • Do you send the diploma every year? You send a statement every year, and every year it states your qualification. The copy of the diploma or GED is your district's practice, not the law's, and most districts ask for it once. Ask your district whether they want it again.
  • A college degree is not a third answer. The law names a diploma or a GED and stops there. Hold a degree and neither of those? Ask your district what they want to see before you file. Most people with a degree also hold one of the two, and then that is the box to tick.
  • One supervising parent goes on the form. The statement names the parent whose answer this is.
I don't have either, and yes, you can still homeschool
Pick this if you did not finish high school and have no GED.
  • You may teach your own children. The law says so plainly. It adds one condition, not a door closed.
  • Monitoring, for your first two years. A teacher checks in with you and your child. That teacher is licensed or approved by the state Education Standards and Practices Board.
  • Who picks the monitor: the district picks and pays for one. You may pick your own instead, by telling the district, and then you pay.
  • How much time: about one hour a week for one child. Each extra child adds a half hour a month, not a week. A family of four is roughly one hour a week plus ninety minutes a month.
  • The monitor reports twice a year to the superintendent. That is the monitor's job, not yours.
  • No test in those two years? Then monitoring cannot be stretched, unless you and the monitor both agree to it.
I finished monitoring already
Pick this only if the two years are behind you, and so is any year a low test score added.
  • You are done, for good, for every child. The law says a parent who completes monitoring for one child is not monitored again for the others.
  • Finished means both clocks stopped. The first two years, and any extra year a score below the 50th percentile added. Monitoring keeps extending until a score reaches the 50th, so a low score in year two means you are not finished yet.
  • This is the most-missed relief in North Dakota home education law, and the state's own form has a box for it.
  • Check that box on each new child's statement so nobody starts the clock over.
Who may supervise: NDCC § 15.1-23-03 · monitoring: § 15.1-23-06 and § 15.1-23-07

2. Send a statement of intent

Required when compulsory attendance applies.

No portal sign-up first. The Department of Public Instruction's (DPI) FAQ: “Districts cannot require you to register for Infinite Campus or another portal as a condition of accepting your Statement of Intent unless your child will take district courses.”

Not home education at all? The private-school route
North Dakota has no “homeschool as a private school” label; the approved-nonpublic-school chapter is a different thing. Open only if a guide told you otherwise.

Not home education at all? Some guides describe a second route, “homeschooling as a private school.” North Dakota law has no such label. What exists is the general approved-nonpublic-school statute, chapter 15.1-06. In that chapter each classroom teacher “is licensed to teach by the education standards and practices board or approved to teach”, and anyone hired after June 30, 2011 with unsupervised contact with students has had a criminal history background check (§ 15.1-06-06.1). In plain terms: every teacher at such a school is licensed or state-approved, and staff hired since mid-2011 have had a background check. A family that runs a school under that chapter is under that chapter, not this page.

If the statement is not filed. Chapter 15.1-23 names no penalty of its own. But “home education” is defined as a program “supervised by a child's parent in accordance with chapter 15.1-23” (§ 15.1-20-04). Only that program is excused from compulsory attendance (§ 15.1-20-02(1)(e)). A child outside it is treated as not attending. And “any person who fails to ensure that a student is in attendance as required by this chapter is guilty of an infraction for a first offense and is guilty of a class B misdemeanor for a second or subsequent offense” (§ 15.1-20-03(4)). In plain terms: if your child is not in a home-education program, missing attendance is an offense, first a small one then a misdemeanor.

For each child within North Dakota's compulsory-attendance and home-education scope, send one statement each year. It goes to your school district's superintendent. If your district employs none, it goes to your county superintendent of schools. Trellis fills the state's own form for you. Press Prepare beside a child, check every line, and download North Dakota's own PDF with your answers on it, ready to print and sign.

Three filing clocks, never guessed
Five days before a start. Fourteen days after a move. No fixed statewide date for the yearly statement.
  • Starting or restarting home education: five days before you begin. Send the statement, wait five days, then start. Returning to home education after public school is a new beginning too.
  • Moving into or between North Dakota districts: fourteen days after establishing residence. Moving is what starts this clock, not starting school. It runs again on a move from one North Dakota district to another.
  • Yearly statement: no fixed statewide calendar date. The law still requires one each year, but it names no August date, no yearly anniversary, and no September 10. Use your family's yearly filing cycle and confirm any uncertain timing with your district.
  • A district may publish its own date. One district's website says September 10. That date is not in state law. It is a local convenience and can mislead a family starting in January. If starting or restarting is your event, the five-day clock applies; a routine yearly filing has no fixed statewide calendar date.
  • You may read "fourteen days before beginning" on a North Dakota homeschool website. That is wrong. Fourteen days belongs to moving.
What the statement has to say
Four items, and the state's form asks for a bit more.
  • Your child's name, address, birth date, and grade level.
  • The name, address, and qualifications of the parent who will supervise.
  • Any public school classes your child will take, and which district offers them.
  • Any activities or sports your child will join, and which school offers them.
  • Naming an activity school brings transfer rules with it. The state high school activities association applies its transfer rules to your child, the same ones as if they had switched schools. That makes it a real choice, not a note. Read those rules before you name a school in ninth grade and want a different one in eleventh.
  • Nothing else is on the list. No curriculum, no book list, no schedule, no test plan, no statement of belief.
  • The state's form also asks for your child's gender. That is the form asking, not the law. A family using a different form is not missing anything.
Which form
The state's form is the easy road, not the only one.
  • There is no required form. The law names what the statement must say, not what paper it goes on. The state's SFN 16909 is accepted everywhere and is the safe choice. The state homeschool association hands out a shorter form with only what the law asks for. A plain letter with the four items works too.
  • Trellis fills the state's own form and adds nothing to it. The filling happens in your browser, so nothing you type reaches Trellis, and every blank Trellis cannot answer honestly stays empty for your pen.
  • Get your form from the state's site, not from a district's copy. Two districts post older copies. One of them still shows the wrong deadline.
  • Trellis does not send anything for you, and it stores no reply from the district. The check mark beside each child is your own record that you sent it.
  • How to send it varies. Some districts take it online. Some name a person to send it to. One county tells families to send nothing to the county office at all. Your district's website or office tells you how.
It is notice, not an application
You are telling them, not asking permission.
  • Chapter 15.1-23 sets no approval or rejection step and gives the superintendent no power to add filing conditions.
  • The district receives the statement and its answers. Its statewide reporting duty is narrower: it reports the number of statements filed, not their contents.
  • The form has a superintendent signature line. That is a receipt, not a permission slip. Ask for a signed copy and keep your own proof of delivery.
  • Filing is free. The home-education chapter creates no inspection of your filing, no review of your curriculum, and no approval of your materials. Other lawful child-welfare or attendance processes are separate.

Keep every year's copy, forever. This is the highest-value habit in North Dakota. The state scholarship transcript form asks in its own words for copies of your statements from the last four years. That form is SFN 60374, Home Education Transcript for the North Dakota Scholarship Program. A family who threw them away made a scholarship application much harder, four years later.

Two age edge cases: a six-year-old already enrolled, and a midyear sixteenth birthday
The duty runs from the seventh birthday. These two situations are the exceptions.

A child under seven usually owes no compulsory-attendance filing. The duty starts on the seventh birthday whenever it falls. The exception is a six-year-old enrolled in public school: enrollment creates an attendance duty for that school year. If you withdraw that child into home education, file the statement before home instruction begins. They cannot go back to public school until the next school year unless you move districts. The statute says "between the ages of seven and sixteen years". It does not settle whether a midyear sixteenth birthday ends the duty on that birthday, or at the end of that school year. In plain terms: turning sixteen midyear may or may not end the duty this year. Districts differ, so ask your district which one it uses.

The statement: NDCC § 15.1-23-02 · SFN 16909, the state's form · ages seven to sixteen: § 15.1-20-01

3. Testing in grades 4, 6, 8, and 10

Required by law unless you claim an exemption.

North Dakota tests in four grades only: fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth. No other grade owes a test. And in those four grades you may claim an exemption instead, which you do with that year's statement of intent, not later.

If your child takes the test
Pick this if no exemption fits, or you simply want the score.
  • The district's test is free. The district pays for the test and for giving it, and supplies a teacher the state has licensed or approved to run it. This is the easiest road.
  • You may ask for a national test instead. You buy that test. Ask the district to give it and the district pays for giving it. Pick your own person to give it and you pay that person. § 15.1-23-10(2)(c) says: “The cost of administering a test under this subsection is the responsibility of the school district if, at the request of the child's parent, the school district administers the test.” DPI's FAQ summary skips that clause.
  • Who may give it: someone licensed or approved to teach by the state Education Standards and Practices Board. "Approved" is its own category and is wider than "certified".
  • Careful with national testing companies. They let a person with a bachelor's degree give the test. North Dakota does not. Buying the test from them is fine; the person running it still has to clear the state's bar.
  • Where: in your child's own learning space, which usually means home. At a public school only if you ask for that.
  • The person who gives the test tells your district that it happened.
  • You send the score results to the superintendent yourself. That half is the parent's job, not the test giver's, and the law sets no date for either one.
We object to standardized tests
Pick this if testing goes against your beliefs. It stands on its own.
  • You need no degree, no license, and no supporting paperwork. Checking the objection on the yearly statement gives the notice the statute requires. The state's own form prints it as its own checkbox, on its own line.
  • Philosophical, moral, or religious. Any of the three.
  • The statute requires no explanation, proof of church membership, or description of the belief, and none of those may be made a condition of filing the notice.
  • One district's website says the opposite. It prints "and" where the law prints "or", which makes it look like you also need a teaching license or a degree. You do not. The law, the state department, the state's own form, and both homeschool organizations all read it the other way.
The parent holds a license, an approval, a degree, or an exam score
Pick the one the supervising parent actually holds.
  • A teaching license from the state Education Standards and Practices Board.
  • Or approval to teach from that same board, which is its own category and does not mean a license. Claim it in your own words on the form, and attach your approval paperwork. The form offers a license box and no approval box, and Trellis leaves the license box alone, because you sign that form.
  • A bachelor's degree in any subject at all, art and music included. It may be an education degree, and it does not have to be.
  • A passing score on a national teacher exam, taken here or in another state.
  • Attach a copy of whichever one you claim, with the statement of intent, every year.
  • The exemption belongs to the parent named on the statement. If one of you holds the degree, name that one.

Two percentile numbers, doing two different jobs

Below the 30thstarts the assessment team's look and a remediation plan (§ 15.1-23-11, -12)
Below the 50thextends monitoring for a parent without a diploma (§ 15.1-23-06); whether it starts monitoring is the unsettled question below

A score below the 30th is also below the 50th, so one low score can start two different clocks with two different exits.

Neither one is a pass mark. Mixing them up is the most common mistake families make here, so read both.

The 30th percentile decides whether you write a plan.

  • A score below the 30th percentile on the basic composite starts a look at your child. A school team checks for a learning problem, and that look comes first, before anything is asked of you.
  • The team finds no disability, and you want to keep going. Then you write a remediation plan, with the advice and agreement of a teacher the state Education Standards and Practices Board has licensed or approved. You send the plan to the superintendent, and you pay for building it.
  • Send that plan. A family who does not send it may no longer homeschool that child. An unfiled services plan, below, carries the same outcome. Either one is worth calling a homeschool legal group about the same week.
  • The team makes three findings instead of one. Your child is disabled; the disability means they need specially designed instruction; and that instruction cannot be given without special education and related services. All three, not a diagnosis on its own. Then you may keep home educating, and your child gets a services plan under § 15.1-23-13. You may have that plan written privately or build it with the district. Sending it matters just as much: a services plan left unfiled carries the same outcome as an unsent remediation plan. A child evaluated once is not re-evaluated on a later low score, unless the services plan itself asks for it.
  • A child with a developmental disability has a route of their own, with progress reports due November 1, February 1, and May 1. §§ 15.1-23-14 and 15.1-23-15 carry it.
  • The plan ends on a later score at or above the 30th percentile.
  • The plan also ends on a score showing one year of growth since the last test. This second way out is generous. A child who is behind but genuinely growing gets out on it. You choose which test to use, and you may use one written for a higher grade.
  • The plan can come back. Getting out is getting out of that plan, not out of the rule. If a plan has ended and a later required test does not show reasonable academic progress, a plan has to be written and followed again.
  • The look at your child is the part that happens once. A child looked at once does not get looked at again for a later low score, unless their own services plan calls for it. That relief covers the school team's look, not the plan.

The 50th percentile decides how long monitoring lasts. It does no work at all on the plan above. If you are monitored, a score under the 50th adds at least one more year of monitoring, and keeps adding until a score reaches the 50th.

Unsettled: a score under the 50th percentile when you are not monitored
The statute's sentence can be read either way; the state department's published answer takes the narrow reading. Open if it happens to you.
Unsettled: a low score for a parent who is not monitored. Here the law is genuinely unsettled, so we will not pretend otherwise. The 50th percentile sentence sits inside the section about parents without a diploma, which reads as though it only stretches monitoring already underway. The state department's current published answers take the narrow reading. Monitoring “applies only when the supervising parent does not have a high school diploma or GED”. A score under the 50th “during monitoring” adds a year. The sentence's own words are broader. It says: “If a child receiving home education obtains a … score below the fiftieth percentile nationally, the parent must be monitored”. A district could read that as reaching every child, and nothing published rules that out. If your child scores under the 50th, expect your district may raise it, and talk to them before you assume either answer. Trellis will not pick a side for you.

Getting above the 30th ends the plan; it does not end monitoring. You may also test in a year nobody asked you to, and you pay for that yourself. Be aware that a score is a score: whether a voluntary low one starts the 30th-percentile machinery has never been tested.

Record each completed test in your test records; the score paper stays with you.

A county website still prints a 15th percentile figure
That number is from an older version of the law and is not the rule today.

One county site still prints a 15th percentile figure from an older version of North Dakota law. The thresholds today are the 30th and the 50th, above.

Testing and exemptions: NDCC § 15.1-23-09 · who pays: § 15.1-23-10 · the 30th percentile: § 15.1-23-11 · how long a plan lasts: § 15.1-23-12

4. Four hours a day, 175 days

Required when compulsory attendance applies.

For a child within compulsory-attendance scope, North Dakota asks for both numbers together. That combination, hours and days together, is rare; New York is the other state here that pairs both. A day only counts if it reached four hours. A three-hour day falls short of the four-hour minimum. It counts as zero toward the 175.

  • Not 700 hours. Four times 175 is 700, but 700 hours is not the rule. Six hours a day for 120 days adds to more than 700 and still misses the law.
  • The subjects are set by law. § 15.1-23-04 says a parent supervising home education “shall include instruction in those subjects required by law to be taught to public school students”. In plain terms: your subject list is the public schools' required list. For the elementary and middle grades those are English language arts and mathematics; social studies, with the U.S. Constitution, U.S. history, geography, government and North Dakota studies; science, including agriculture; physical education and health; and computer science, including cybersecurity (§ 15.1-21-01).
  • The law does not sort activities into types. Reading, field trips, music practice, and physical activity may count when they are part of your instruction. Record what your child was learning rather than treating every activity as instructional automatically.
  • Spread the four hours however your day runs. They may sit in pieces across the day. Any day of the week counts, Saturday and Sunday included.
  • You set your own school year. North Dakota names no start month, no end month, and no window of its own. Trellis counts against the school year your family keeps, and each day belongs to one year only.
  • Days under four hours They were real teaching; they just do not count toward the 175.

Trellis counts a day from your Calendar and Learning Log. It adds the recorded minutes on each date, then checks that date against four hours. Taught a day Trellis cannot see, like a field trip or a co-op afternoon? Add it to the Learning Log with the time it took, and that day counts. It can only count what you record, so the number above is a floor under your real teaching, not a verdict on it.

Four hours, 175 days: NDCC § 15.1-23-04

5. Keep your own records

Required when compulsory attendance applies.

For a child within compulsory-attendance and home-education scope, the law asks for one short yearly record, and it holds two things:

  • the courses your child took;
  • their progress checks, including any test results.

Nothing else goes in it. You keep that record at home. You hand it over only if your child moves to a public school, and only if they ask.

Keep the statements of intent anyway, and keep all of them. The state scholarship transcript asks for the last four years. Nothing else you keep pays off like that does.

Optional in North Dakota, whatever anyone tells you: attendance logs, hour logs, lesson plans, portfolios, work samples, grades in any set form, and a transcript before high school. One district's website asks for work samples. They are a fine habit and they are nobody's legal duty.

Trellis builds the paper trail as you go. Your Calendar is the schedule. Imported curriculum is the materials list. The Gradebook and Learning Log show the work. The High School planner holds the transcript. And you can export everything anytime.

If someone actually asks, each child's Year Summary is the ready-to-hand-over summary and the Full Record is the every-line version.

Graduating: you issue the diploma yourself
Who else may issue one, the 22-versus-23-unit note, the civics test and the scholarship. Worth reading closer to graduation.

Graduating: you issue the diploma yourself. You write the transcript and you sign the diploma, and the state's own guidance describes that route first. A district, an approved private high school, or the state's distance education center may issue one instead, if you want that and they agree. Those institutions issue on two routes: their own graduation requirements, or 22 units of high school coursework. DPI's table says 23 and the statute says 22: DPI counts computer science on its own line, and § 15.1-21-02.2 places that unit inside mathematics or science. Plan against the statute's 22 units; DPI's 23-unit table counts the same requirement differently. The civics test rides the first of those two routes only, never the 22-unit route and never a diploma you write yourself. The North Dakota Scholarship asks for that same civics test separately, whichever diploma your child ends up with, so a family with the scholarship in mind still plans for it. The 22 units are also the shape the state scholarship transcript asks for, so the High School planner lays them out whichever diploma you choose.

Records: NDCC § 15.1-23-05 · diplomas: § 15.1-23-17 · the civics test: § 15.1-21-27 · the scholarship asks for it too: § 15.1-21-02.10(2)

6. Shot records, and proof of who your child is

Required with a statement when one is owed.

When a child owes a statement of intent, two things ride along with it. In practice the state's form gives you a checkbox each year rather than asking for fresh copies, and districts differ on whether they want the papers again.

Immunization is required within that filing scope for a home-educated child in North Dakota, filed with the district you live in. Both halves of this are true, and a page that gives you only one half has misled you.

  • You may sign the way out of it yourself. North Dakota accepts a note in your own signature stating a religious, philosophical, or moral objection. That note satisfies the duty (NDCC § 23-07-17.1). No state form exists, so a signed sentence in your own words is the document. You are the only signature on it.
  • A doctor's note is a separate route, for a child whose health shots would endanger.
  • A child partway through a series may go ahead with written proof it started.

Proof of your child's identity. This paper is about the child, not about you. North Dakota accepts a certified copy of a birth certificate, a certified transcript, records from the school your child left before, or any other document your superintendent finds reasonable. A birth certificate is the usual one, and it is not the only one allowed. The law leaves that judgment to the superintendent on purpose.

The state's form gives you checkboxes saying these were provided. Districts differ on whether they want the boxes ticked or the papers attached. Attach the papers; it costs nothing and settles it.

When the health officer judges an epidemic danger exists, exemptions may not be recognized
What that means for a child taught at home is not clear and has never come up.

The immunization law says the exemptions may not be recognized “when, in the opinion of the health officer, danger of an epidemic exists” (§ 23-07-17.1). That covers the diseases on the schedule, and no declaration is needed. It has never been applied to a home-educated child, and nothing published says how it would be.

Immunization and its exemptions: NDCC § 23-07-17.1 · proof of identity: § 12-60-26(7)(c)

Questions North Dakota families ask

Do I need a high school diploma to homeschool in North Dakota?

Show answer
No. A parent with a diploma or a GED is not monitored; a parent with neither may still teach, with a monitor for the first two years, or longer while a test score stays below the 50th percentile. A parent who completes monitoring once is not monitored again for other children. NDCC § 15.1-23-03.

When is the statement of intent due?

Show answer
Five days before home education begins, fourteen days after establishing residence in a new district, and every year after with no fixed statewide date. A district may publish its own date, but that date is not in state law. NDCC § 15.1-23-02.

How many hours or days are required?

Show answer
Four hours a day on 175 days, both together, for a child within compulsory-attendance scope. Six hours a day for 120 days misses the law. You set your own school year. NDCC § 15.1-23-04.

Is testing required?

Show answer
In grades 4, 6, 8 and 10 only, unless you claim an exemption on the yearly statement: a philosophical, moral or religious objection needs no proof; a parent's teaching license, board approval, bachelor's degree in any subject, or passing national teacher-exam score is the other route. The district gives its test free. NDCC § 15.1-23-09.

What happens with a low score?

Show answer
A basic composite below the 30th percentile starts a school team's look at the child; if it finds no disability, the family writes a remediation plan with a licensed or approved teacher and sends it. A score under the 50th percentile extends monitoring for a parent who is monitored. Neither number is a pass mark. NDCC §§ 15.1-23-11 to 15.1-23-13.

What records do I have to keep?

Show answer
One short yearly record of the courses taken and the progress checks, kept at home and handed over only if the child moves to a public school and the school asks. Keep every year's statement of intent; the state scholarship transcript asks for the last four. NDCC § 15.1-23-05.

Does North Dakota issue a homeschool diploma?

Show answer
No. You write the transcript and sign the diploma, and the state's own guidance describes that route first. What colleges read a transcript against is on the North Dakota high school and transcript page.
