Homeschooling in Colorado

Colorado has moderate homeschool regulations that strike a balance between accountability and parental freedom. Families need to stay on top of certain administrative requirements, but with the right curriculum platform these are straightforward to manage.

To begin homeschooling in Colorado, you must file a notice of intent with the Local school district by 14 days before starting homeschool and annually by august 15. Submit a written notification to your school district 14 days before starting, including child's name, age, address, and number of hours planned.

The state requires instruction in specific subjects including Reading, Writing, Speaking, Mathematics, History, Civics, Literature, Science. Our 100% online Montessori Homeschool platform covers all of these through 8,100+ structured daily lessons that integrate practical life, sensorial exploration, language, mathematics, science, geography, and cultural studies — the hallmarks of an authentic Montessori education.

Attendance tracking is required in Colorado: 172 days per year. With Montessori Homeschool, every lesson is timestamped and logged automatically, making it simple to demonstrate compliance at year-end or during any review.

Colorado requires an annual assessment: Standardized test OR evaluation by a qualified person in grades 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Students must score at or above the 13th percentile. Our structured curriculum and progress tracking help ensure your child is well-prepared when assessment time arrives.

The Montessori approach is a natural fit for homeschooling in Colorado. Rather than rigid textbook learning, children work with hands-on materials at their own pace — developing concentration, independence, and a genuine love of learning. Montessori Homeschool brings this approach into your home with a 100% online platform featuring daily lesson plans, printable materials, parent guides, and built-in compliance tools designed specifically for Colorado families.
