If your student has been enrolled in a public school in Indiana and
you withdraw them the state office needs to know where they went so they
do not assume the student is truant. It is strongly suggested that
you contact the state and notify them of your intention to homeschool your
student. They will assign you a “private school number” and will
annually send out a form for you to record how many students you have attending
your private school. If you call this office for information and
have not registered with them, they will advise you that legally if the
State Superintendent requests you to register with the State, you are required
to do so. As a representative for the State Superintendent responsible
for being the liaison with homeschoolers, Lora will tell you she is acting
upon request of the Superintendent when she requests that you register.
Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) recommends that if the State
Superintendent requests you to register, you do so.
INDy+PLuS Education Center
Indy Plus provides full services for homeschoolers, including individualized curriculum (preschool through 12th grade),
record keeping, tutorial services, computer access, and encouragement. The resource center is located near the
Indianapolis International Airport. The greatest benefit of Indy Plus services is that we take a great share of
the load (selecting curriculum, lesson plans, record keeping) off the shoulders of the parents! This frees Mom and
Dad to focus on the essentials of "training their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."
