OKLAHOMA’S HOME SCHOOL, CHOICE AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS
With the Oklahoma legislature and Supreme Court leaning toward conservativism, homeschool is a breeze. It is not regulated and does not require parents to register with or seek approval from state or local officials. There is no required state approved curriculum, but a well-defined curriculum or design for learning should be implemented. Required school subjects under Oklahoma law include reading, writing, math, science, citizenship, US constitution, health, safety, physical education, and conservation.
GOVERNMENT RESOURCES: Families can use public resources to receive education outside of their neighborhood schools with unprecedented choice among public and private school options. Note: PSE considers government funding helpful in the short run but may cause implications in the future. We recommend Public School Exit programs with no government intervention.
