MADE FOR INDIANA FAMILIES
Indiana homeschool curriculum, built for your kids
Tell Kuraplan your children's ages. It plans the year around what Indiana expects, references the IAS where you want it, and writes the lessons and printables for each child.
Indiana homeschool curriculum: what to teach, what is free, and what the state pays for
Indiana treats homeschools as nonaccredited private schools. Instruction must be 'equivalent' to public schools and last 180 days, and attendance records must be kept; there are no required subjects, notification (enrollment reporting is optional), testing or reporting.
For the legal side (notice, records, assessment) see the Indiana homeschool requirements guide. This page is about the curriculum itself.
Indiana sets no subject list
No assessment. Keep the attendance record (required) and a light subject log.
Indiana Academic StandardsNo required subjects. Most families cover reading, writing, math, science and social studies anyway, and use the IAS as an optional checklist by grade.
A year that satisfies the state
A sample Indiana homeschool plan (elementary)
One way to cover what the state expects with programs families finish. Swap any program for one that fits your child; keep the coverage.
Phonics, literature, writing and grammar.
Any mastery program; deduct the cost on the state return.
Two days a week; Indiana history in grade 4.
Art, music, PE and co-op classes.
Daily attendance to 180 days, kept on file.
“Free homeschool programs” in Indiana
Most results for free programs are public online schools. They are free and teacher-led, but your child is a public school student with state testing, not a homeschooler. Worth knowing before you enroll.
Indiana Digital Learning School (K12), Indiana Connections Academy, Insight School of Indiana
Public online schools; free, with ILEARN testing; public enrollment.
Money for curriculum in Indiana
Indiana's Education Scholarship Account serves students with disabilities and can fund home-based education for eligible children. The Indiana private school and homeschool tax deduction allows up to $1,000 per child in state income tax deductions for education expenses including homeschool curriculum.
What Indiana families know
- The $1,000 per child tax deduction (a deduction, not a credit) is claimed on the state return; keep receipts.
- Indiana Association of Home Educators (IAHE) runs the convention; Indianapolis and Fort Wayne have strong co-ops.
- With no state contact, curriculum choice is entirely about fit; the 'equivalent instruction' standard is loose.
- Indiana history is grade 4 in public schools.
