Use this page as the parent-friendly requirements hub for Wyoming. It pulls the core legal fields into one checklist-style view so families can see what matters before they choose curriculum or withdraw from school.
Plain-English note: this is a parent guide, not legal advice. Use the official source links at the bottom of the page before a deadline or filing decision.
Regulation level
Low: The reviewed 2025 HSLDA Wyoming summary says the main homeschool statute requires a sequentially progressive curriculum in listed subjects but no routine notice, no testing, and no parent teacher credential. Older Wyoming-source materials in the bundle are less clear and still reference a curriculum-submission form, so this draft stays cautious and flags that inconsistency.
Compulsory school age
7-16
Notice or enrollment requirement
No routine statewide notice is described in the reviewed 2025 HSLDA Wyoming overview. If a child is already enrolled in school, a written withdrawal notice is still recommended. Notify: No routine filing agency is clearly identified in the reviewed 2025 Wyoming summary. If your child is leaving public or private school, send written withdrawal notice to that school.. Deadline: No statewide annual filing deadline was confirmed in the reviewed 2025 Wyoming summary. If withdrawing from an existing school, do so before attendance problems begin.
Required subjects
Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Civics, History, Literature, Science
Hours or days
The reviewed sources do not clearly identify a specific statewide hour or day minimum for Wyoming independent homeschooling.
Testing or evaluation
No statewide testing is required in the reviewed sources for the main Wyoming homeschool option. Frequency: Not required.
Records parents should keep
The reviewed sources do not show a heavy Wyoming paperwork system for independent homeschoolers, but HSLDA recommends keeping an annual curriculum record, attendance records, book and workbook lists, work samples, correspondence with school officials, portfolios, test results if any, and permanent high school records.
Teacher qualifications
Parents do not need a teaching license or specific degree to homeschool under the main Wyoming homeschool option described in the reviewed sources.
Curriculum freedom
Broad, but not unlimited. The reviewed HSLDA guidance says families must provide a sequentially progressive curriculum of fundamental instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, civics, history, literature, and science.
