Homeschooling in NM
I have been homeschooling in NM for the last 9 years and overall, NM is very homeschool friendly. I take a very unschooling approach, so I may be missing some of the more traditional viewpoints. If you are homeschooling in NM and want to add anything, please feel free to leave a comment.
Here is my “(NOT) Back to School” Resources for the homeschoolers in NM.
First off, you must register with the state within 30 days of starting your homeschool and renew by April 1st. It is a simple online form which you can find at the State’s Department of Education website.
There have been some issues with families needing to register offline and not having that option anymore. You can read HSLDA response on this one. That is about it as far as the law goes. View summary of NM home school laws.
There are many homeschool groups in NM, including religious groups.
For books, visit Title Wave Books on Eubank, just south of Constitution. They have a great selection of school books and resources for the homeschooler.
Book Fair, August 2007- Scholastic Book Fairs, Albuquerque Warehouse Sale.
Helpful Websites:
- New Mexico Home School Community - no religious affiliations, and no specific way of homeschooling.
- Home School Legal Defense Association
- Christian Association of Parent Educators –NM
