Overview
Homeschooling in Alaska is governed by Alaska Statutes section 14.45.100. Alaska is unique in offering state-funded correspondence programs that provide curriculum resources and handle compliance — many Alaska families use these programs rather than fully independent homeschooling. Independent homeschoolers must notify their local district and complete annual assessments.
