Overview
Homeschooling in Arizona is governed by Arizona Revised Statutes § 15-802. Arizona requires only a one-time Affidavit of Intent filed with the county school superintendent — unlike most states there is no annual renewal requirement. This makes Arizona one of the most straightforward states for homeschool families.
Telling the authorities
Notice is required
Who: County school superintendent
When: Within 30 days of beginning homeschooling
How to do it
File an Affidavit of Intent with your county school superintendent within 30 days of beginning homeschooling. One-time filing only — not required annually.

Arizona is one of the simplest states to homeschool in. A one-time affidavit filing is all that is required — no annual renewal, no testing, and no teacher qualifications.
