Indiana State Standards and Common Core

Indiana was the first state to reject not only consortia testing but also the Common Core as a whole.

State Subject Requirements

Parents must provide children with “instruction equivalent” to that in public schools. However, homeschools are exempt from the curriculum requirements laid out for public schools, and “equivalent instruction” has never been defined. Instruction must be provided in the English language.
