Kansas requires registration as a non-accredited private school with the State Board of Education.
Kansas takes a hands-off approach to homeschool regulation. While the state does require some basic paperwork, the overall burden is light. This gives families plenty of room to follow a child-led Montessori approach without jumping through excessive bureaucratic hoops.
To begin homeschooling in Kansas, you must file a notice of intent with the Kansas State Department of Education by september 15 each year. Register your homeschool as a non-accredited private school by September 15. Provide the school name and address of the student.
Kansas does not mandate specific subjects, giving you the flexibility to focus on what matters most for your child's development. The Montessori method naturally covers a broad curriculum including practical life skills, sensorial development, language arts, mathematics, science, geography, and cultural studies.
The Montessori approach is a natural fit for homeschooling in Kansas. 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 Kansas families.
