Any parent may educate a child at home. The parent does not need a teaching certificate or need to meet any education requirements in order to provide home instruction. If a parent decides to home school, he or she must offer 1,000 hours of instruction during the school year, with at least 600 hours in the basics, which will be in reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. At least 400 of the 600 hours shall occur in the home location.

A parent who is home schooling a child must maintain the following records: A plan book, diary, daily log, or other written record indicating the subjects taught and the activities engaged in with the student;
Section 167.042 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, states that a parent or guardian may notify the superintendent of schools or the recorder of county deeds, in the county where the child legally resides, of their intent to home school. This is to be done before September 1 annually. Home-schooled students do not register with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education does NOT regulate or monitor home schooling in Missouri. Home schooling is one of the options available to meet the state's compulsory attendance law, Section 167.031, RSMo. Neither the State Board of Education nor the Department has any authority to issue regulations or guidelines concerning home schooling. No registration is required with the State of Missouri or with our Department. No curriculum or materials are provided to home schoolers from the Department or from the State, nor any advice about available online programs. The Department does NOT accredit home schooling.
According to Missouri law, a child is eligible for admission to kindergarten if the child reaches the age of five before the first day of August for the current year or if the child is a military dependent who has successfully completed a state accredited prekindergarten program or has attended a state accredited kindergarten program in another state. To be eligible to enter first grade, children must reach the age of six prior to August 1 of the current year, or if the child is a military dependent who has successfully completed a state accredited kindergarten program in another state. Any child, who successfully completed kindergarten in an out-of-state accredited school, or a Missouri accredited urban or metropolitan school, will meet age requirements for entrance into grade one. A registered birth certificate must be presented at the time of enrollment for kindergarten and first grade students who are enrolling in the Waynesville School District for the first time.
Immunizations
