Parent Qualifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You do not have to be qualified to homeschool in Utah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notice of Intent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To homeschool in Utah, you need to file an affidavit with your local public school district. Your district may provide you with one, or you can use the one here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This affidavit is only due one time. All students listed on the affidavit will be withdrawn and exempted from the compulsory attendance law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Utah does not require a certain amount of days or hours of instruction. Parents have full control over when they teach and what their schedule looks like. If your family needs a fully customizable school schedule, Utah is a great place to homeschool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homeschool Curriculum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Utah does not require any specific subjects be taught. Instead, the Utah homeschooling laws leave the curriculum up to each family. Parents can teach whatever they would like, and students have the freedom to pursue any special interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parents can make their own homeschool curriculum or purchase one of their choosing. It\u2019s best to choose a curriculum that meets the most needs possible, with little supplementation. Thankfully, there are plenty of curricula online, as well as other parental resources available.<\/p>\n\n\n
