*Update as of 7/10/2026 NH’s home education law was rewritten by the enactment of HB 1268. GSHE will update our website to reflect those changes. In the meantime, refer to this article for a summary.

NH’s home education requirements are straight-forward, flexible, and not intrusive; the statute and rules can be found in RSA 193-A and Ed 315.

New Hampshire’s education law, RSA 193:1, applies to children who are six years old as of September 30th of the current school year to age 18. Kindergarten is optional.
