Homeschooling in New Hampshire
As of July 2026 there is nothing to file, nothing to keep and nothing to evaluate. The Home Education Freedom Act removed all of it.
Getting started (notice)
none. HB 1268, the Home Education Freedom Act, took effect in July 2026 and removed the requirement to notify your district, your public school or the Department of Education, unless you intend to use public school resources.
Required subjects
the statutory list of science, mathematics, language, government, history, health, reading, writing, spelling, the history of the New Hampshire and United States constitutions, and exposure to art and music remains the description of home education, but nobody reviews or collects it.
Records you must keep
no longer required. The mandatory portfolio was removed by HB 1268. Families may keep one voluntarily, and many still do for their own use.
Testing / evaluation
no longer required. The annual evaluation requirement was removed by the same act.
Parent qualifications
none.
Where Letters & Devotion fits in New Hampshire
Whatever New Hampshire asks you to keep, keeping it should not be a job. Letters & Devotion logs instructional hours automatically while your child works, tracks mastery per skill as a ready-made portfolio record, and prints a transcript in one click, so notices, portfolios and evaluations start from records that already exist. The curriculum itself covers every core subject, K through 12.

HSLDA also publishes a plain-language summary of New Hampshire's law, at hslda.org/legal/new-hampshire, and sells a paid legal-defense membership built on top of it. It is an advocacy organization, not a legal authority: its leadership is explicitly Christian, and it lobbies on homeschool legislation, positions a family may or may not share. Read what membership actually costs and covers before joining anything.
