Homeschool Requirements in Wyoming

Wyoming asks for nothing each year. No annual notice, no registration, no assessment. The step people miss is a separate one: if your child is enrolled in a public school right now, withdrawing them is its own act, and nothing on this page does it for you. Do that first. Everything below is what Wyoming actually requires, cited at the foot so you can read it yourself.

What you file, and by when

No annual notice and no curriculum submission as of July 1, 2025. The Homeschool Freedom Act (H.B. 46, signed Feb. 27, 2025) amended Wyo. Stat. 21-4-102(b) to delete the yearly curriculum filing to the local board of trustees and the “prima facie evidence of noncompliance” penalty. This next part is commonly missed. H.B. 46 amended subsection (b) only. Subsection 21-4-102(c) still stands, so a parent withdrawing a child who is currently enrolled must provide the district written consent to the withdrawal, which in practice means an in-person meeting with a district counselor or administrator. That is a one-time step at withdrawal, not an annual obligation, and it does not apply to a child who was never enrolled. Separately, a family that wants continued access to public school sports and extracurriculars still submits curriculum for that purpose.

Nothing to file is not the same as nothing to know, and the group of states in that position is smaller than the forums suggest. How to read your own state code in about ten minutes.

Days or hours

None specified in statute. No minimum days or hours for home-based educational programs.

Subjects you must cover

Must be a “basic academic educational program”, a sequentially progressive curriculum of fundamental instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, civics, history, literature, and science (seven subjects). Programs may not be required to include content conflicting with, or exclude content consistent with, their religious doctrines.

Records you keep

No state recordkeeping mandate. Nothing must be submitted to or retained for the district. Keeping your own attendance, curriculum, and work samples is prudent but voluntary.

Nothing goes to a district, so the only account of the four years is the one you write. Writing the counselor letter when the counselor is you.

Testing or evaluation

None. No testing, no assessment, no evaluation, no district approval.

Diplomas and transcripts

No state diploma or credit rules for homeschoolers; the parent issues the diploma and transcript. The practical high-school pressure point is the Hathaway Scholarship: homeschool graduates cannot satisfy the standard “success curriculum” transcript route through a district and instead qualify via the ACT/other alternative criteria set by the Wyoming Dept. of Education, contact a Hathaway advisor early, ideally by 9th/10th grade. Wyoming’s Steamboat Legacy Scholarship Act ESA (2025) is a separate program with its own testing/reporting strings; enrolling in it changes your obligations.

If the transcript is the piece you are missing, it is free on its own: The Transcript Template, with the weighted and unweighted GPA already wired.

Where this comes from

Statute: Wyo. Stat. 21-4-102(b) as amended by 2025 H.B. 46 (Homeschool Freedom Act, eff. July 1, 2025); Wyo. Stat. 21-4-102(c) (withdrawal consent, unamended); Wyo. Stat. 21-4-101(a)(vi) (definitions)

Homeschool law changes, and a page like this goes stale without saying so. Before a filing deadline, read the statute above for yourself. If we are behind, we would rather hear it from you than have you find out at the district office.

All fifty states and DC, each with its statute cited.

Filing is one half of it. Keeping the records is the other, and that is what our Records System is for: the editable transcript with the GPA already wired, 131 course descriptions, and this same statute-cited summary for all fifty states and DC. Thirty-nine dollars, one household, however many children you have.
