Are you interested in homeschooling and you don't know where to start?  No, you don't need to be a teacher or have a degree of any kind.  You don't need to be under an umbrella school either.  In Nevada, you can unenroll your child from public school, then within 10 days send in your Notice of Intent to Homeschool (NOI), and you're on your way to freedom.  Know that you are NOT asking for permission to homeschool, you are letting the Clark County School District know that you will be homeschooling your child (it is your right). It is not your responsibility to provide a copy of the NOI to the school you are unenrolling your child from.  When you take the responsibility of homeschooling your child by sending in an NOI, you will be responsible for buying all educational supplies (books, computer...etc). Yes, it will cost money but you are now in control of your child's education.  You will pick what they learn, when will they learn it, and at their own individual pace.  Always remember that anything that is free, comes with a price so getting free stuff from the government will only take our freedom away.  There’s no tax write offs for homeschoolers either unfortunately. 

Homeschooling High Schoolers

Pulling your child out of public school or private school during or when they are starting high school is possible but please be aware that they will need an accredited program to be used to homeschool, if they will be re-enrolled in public school.  If you do not intend on re-enrolling them in school, you can use any curriculum you choose.  They can still have a formal graduation with a homeschool group of your choice, if they offer it.  They do not need a diploma to go to college or get a great job.  Transcripts are the only requirement to go to college, which are easy for the parent to write.

Below are two links, the NOI and an educational plan.  Fill out an NOI for each child and attach an educational plan too.  Mail or email each child's forms separately.  You will receive mail confirmation that they received it in a week or so.  Keep that confirmation and make copies.  Carry a copy with you, for each child, in case anyone of authority questions why your child is not in school  (I've never had that happen in 14 years of homeschooling).
