What to look for on the official page

• Required subjects and any instruction-time rules
• Assessment, evaluation or portfolio requirements
• Records you should keep
• Other legal options such as private, church, charter or online public schools

Choosing a curriculum that fits Minnesota's rules

If your state expects records, assessments or particular subjects, check which provider keeps grades and transcripts. Online schools usually do it for you; print curricula leave it to the parent. Tuition-free online public schools, such as those powered by K12 or Connections Academy, are available only in some states. Check each provider's site for Minnesota.
