Homeschool Hero › Utah homeschool requirements

Utah homeschool requirements under the 2025 law

Since May 7, 2025, Utah homeschooling starts with a one-time notification to your local school board, and the rest is up to you. The district can't require records, tests or teaching credentials. Homeschool Hero keeps a simple record of what you teach, for your own files.

What Utah asks for

• When you withdraw your child from school to homeschool, or choose not to enroll them, send a one-time notification to your district's local school board. It may be a letter of intent.
• If you already notified your district on or before May 7, 2025, including with a home-school affidavit, you don't need to notify again.
• The board acknowledges your notification within 30 days.
• You alone choose the instructional materials, the time, place and method of teaching, and how to evaluate it.
• The district may not require records of instruction or attendance, credentials, inspections or tests.

How Homeschool Hero helps in Utah

• Each child starts with a few suggested subjects, which you can change. Utah requires none.
• Every lesson you log names the book or curriculum used, building a record of your teaching for your own files.
• Make a report for any dates you choose, such as a yearly summary of each child's progress.
