Missouri homeschool FAQ

Missouri homeschool law (RSMo 167.031) requires 1,000 hours of instruction per year, with at least 600 hours in core subjects — reading, language arts, math, social studies, and science — and at least 400 of those core hours at your regular home location.

You must keep a daily log of subjects taught, a portfolio of your child's work, and a record of evaluations. Hearth & Hours keeps your daily log and hour totals automatically; keep your portfolio and evaluations alongside it.
