TESTING & RECORDS
Despite the fact that children in Idaho are not required to take standardized tests, it can
be reassuring to con昀椀rm your child’s educational progress. There are online resources
that allow you to take standardized tests from the comfort of your home. (For further
information, visit homeschoolidaho.org/testing.)
Even though Idaho does not mandate recordkeeping, it is prudent to maintain
records for at least two years. Curriculum, schoolwork, and test results, certi昀椀cates, and
accomplishments, and even attendance records could be recorded.
RESOURCES
As a homeschooling parent, your best resources are other
homeschooling families. There are numerous groups, organizations,
churches, co-ops, and playgroups in the Treasure Valley that facilitate
these connections. The Homeschool Idaho Convention is an annual
two-day event held in Nampa, Idaho, at Northwest Nazarene University.
Thousands of homeschooling families attend the convention for the
workshops, the chance to purchase and peruse curriculum from
countless vendors and curriculum representatives, and the opportunity
to hear motivational speakers provide expert homeschool advice.
