Flourish Enrich
Homeschool Information Hub
At Flourish we know that just like no two children learn the same way, no two families are exactly the same in education they are seeking for their children. The best way to choose your path is to be well informed.
Homeschooling in Colorado gives families the freedom to customize their child's education while meeting state requirements. Whether you're new to homeschooling or a seasoned family, this guide provides an overview of Colorado homeschool laws, testing requirements, evaluations, and local resources.
Welcome to Homeschooling in Colorado!
Colorado Homeschool Requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to follow public school curriculum?
No. Parents may choose the curriculum that best fits their child.
Can homeschoolers participate in sports?
Yes. In Colorado, homeschooled students have the legal right to try out for and participate in public school sports and extracurricular activities at the public school they would otherwise attend based on where they live. A school district cannot deny a student the opportunity solely because they are homeschooled. Districts cannot require a homeschool student to enroll in academic classes simply to be eligible for sports, unless the activity is directly tied to a course. Districts are allowed to charge homeschool families to participate in sports.
Can my child earn a diploma?
Yes. Homeschool programs may issue their own diploma.
Are homeschool transcripts accepted by colleges?
Yes. Colleges regularly admit homeschooled students.

Which Homeschool Options Can Participate?
Families using any of Colorado's legal homeschool pathways may participate in enrichment programs and co-ops such as Flourish Enrich, provided participation aligns with the requirements of their chosen homeschool option. Currently we are not funded by the state so families are able to stay in their state funded locations.
Our Philosophy
We believe homeschooling is not one-size-fits-all. Every child learns differently, every family has unique goals, and parents deserve support, encouragement, and resources along the way. Flourish Enrich exists to help students grow academically, socially, and personally while empowering parents to remain at the center of their child's education.
You lead the homeschool journey. We help your family flourish.
We provide teacher-led enrichment classes, academic support, hands-on learning experiences, and social opportunities for homeschool students. Families may also choose to participate in volunteer opportunities, field trips, special events, and community-building activities that reflect the collaborative spirit of a homeschool co-op.
At Flourish Enrich, parents remain the primary educators while we come alongside to support their homeschool journey.
