Utah Homeschooling Laws

Overview

  • There is only one legal requirement for homeschooling in Utah: Parents must file a notarized Utah homeschool affidavit with their local school district. (See “Notification,” below.)  Homeschool students are exempted from compulsory attendance requirements. Utah Code Section 53A-11-102 describes Utah law related to the need to be exempted from Utah’s compulsory education laws in order to homeschool your children.
  • Children must attend school from age 6 to age 18.  A local school board or charter school governing board may excuse a school-age minor from attendance if the school-age minor will attend a homeschool; and the parent assumes sole responsibility for the education of the school-age minor, except to the extent the school-age minor is dual enrolled in a public school.
  • There are no required days of instruction.
  • There are no mandated subjects.
  • Assessments are not required.
  • There are not any Immunization requirements.
  • Utah does not require credentials for homeschool parents/teachers.
