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.
