Constitutional Foundation and Legal Reality
Homeschooling in Colombia exists within a legally flexible but unregulated environment. Article 68 of the Colombian Constitution affirms that “parents have the right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children,” giving families the foundational right to homeschool.
There is currently no national law that explicitly recognizes or restricts homeschooling. Most families educate at home freely, without needing to register or submit documentation to the government.
However, this flexibility means there is also no formal academic validation system like in some other countries. Parents planning for university or official certification should consider aligning coursework to national standards and preparing for assessments like the ICFES (Colombian high school exit exam) to demonstrate academic progress.
Support Networks for Homeschooling Families in Colombia
Homeschooling in Colombia is growing—especially among Christian families—and a number of strong grassroots communities have emerged to support parents.

Based in Sabaneta, Antioquia, C4K is a faith-based homeschool group led by Viviana. This Charlotte Mason-inspired community offers monthly gatherings, workshops, science fairs, and educational outings for Christian families.
