Texas

LOW-FRICTION

Texas treats homeschools as private schools. No registration, no notification, no testing required.

What Texas asks for

3 obligations. We handle each.

CURRICULUM · Always

Bona fide curriculum in 5 areas

Leeper v. Arlington ISD (1994) · TX Sup. Ct.

Reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship. No specific provider required.

Lyceumly covers all five areas in our default plan — automatically.
RECORDS · Always

Keep your own records

TEC §29.916 · best practice

No filing required, but recommended in case of college admissions, return to school, or rare district inquiry.

Your dashboard auto-keeps an attendance log, hours by subject, and work samples. Export anytime.
WITHDRAWAL LETTER · Once · before October

Letter of withdrawal (only if leaving public school)

TEA guidance

A signed letter to the child's current school stating they are now homeschooled. No reply required.

We draft the letter, you sign it, and we tell you who at the district to send it to.
