No notice required
Homeschooling in Michigan
No notice, no tests, and no records to show anyone. Michigan just expects an organized program in nine named subjects.
Getting started (notice)
none. The home education exemption under MCL 380.1561(3)(f) requires no registration or notice to any agency (reporting to MDE exists only for the separate voluntary nonpublic-school option). A state-superintendent push for a mandatory homeschool registry (2024-2025) has not become law as of mid-2026.
Required subjects
an organized educational program in reading, spelling, mathematics, science, history, civics, literature, writing, and English grammar (MCL 380.1561(3)(f))
Records you must keep
none required
Testing / evaluation
none
Parent qualifications
none for the (3)(f) home education route (teacher certification rules attach only to the nonpublic-school option, which itself has a religious-objection exemption)
Where Clareza fits in Michigan
Whatever Michigan asks you to keep, keeping it should not be a job. Clareza 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.
