Homeschooling in Wyoming: the complete guide
If you're looking for the most straightforward homeschool regulations in the country, Wyoming is hard to beat: no forms, no check-ins, and no state-imposed schedule. Compulsory attendance in Wyoming covers children ages 7-16, which means a homeschool program needs to be in place for any child in that range.
Wyoming is one of the rare states where the schedule is entirely up to the family. Some households lean into year-round learning at a relaxed pace; others keep a traditional September-through-May calendar. A personal target of around 900 hours a year gives parents a useful anchor without any legal pressure.
The required subjects in Wyoming (reading, writing, math, civics, history, literature, and science) form the backbone of each year's plan, with real freedom in how deeply or creatively each is taught. In practice, Wyoming homeschool families use Homeschool Fox to log daily activities, keep portfolios in one place, and generate the compliance reports that the state's paperwork moments call for.
Notice requirements
Notice not required
Wyoming does not require you to notify anyone of your intent to homeschool.
Even where no filing is required, what counts as homeschooling legally is worth a read — umbrella schools, charters, and hybrid programs each sit on a different legal footing.
Withdrawing from public school
Wyoming (under the 2025 Homeschool Freedom Act): if you're pulling a child out of public school, send the district a one-time written notice of withdrawal, and that's the whole filing. If your child has never been enrolled in public school, you don't need to file anything to start. Keep a copy of the notice.
For the play-by-play, how to withdraw your child from public school walks through the conversation, the timing, and the paperwork. What to send the district when you pull your child covers exactly what the letter should and shouldn't say.
Assessment requirements
Assessment not required
Wyoming does not require standardized testing or formal assessment.
Portfolio & records
Portfolio not required
While Wyoming doesn't mandate a portfolio, keeping records is still recommended.
Required subjects
Wyoming requires instruction in the following subjects.

School choice & ESA
Open to homeschool familiesProgram
Wyoming Education Savings Account
Up to $7,000 / student / year
Homeschool-eligible amount. Some programs pay private-school students more.
Who qualifies and what you give up
Wyoming's Education Savings Account pays $7,000 per student per year beginning in the 2025-26 school year. Eligible students are Wyoming residents aged 4 through grade 12 who are not enrolled in public school. Homeschool families qualify — participation requires that parents ensure instruction covers core subjects and that students are assessed on academic progress via the state assessment or a nationally norm-referenced assessment. Pre-K applicants (age 4) are subject to an income cap (household income at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines). Applications are managed through the Wyoming Department of Education; contact [email protected] with questions.
Deeper guides: homeschool ESAs explained — which states offer them in 2026 covers eligibility and the trade-offs you sign up for. How to use an ESA for homeschool curriculum walks through what's reimbursable and where families get stuck.
Homeschool Fox tracks receipts and learning plans against ESA reporting requirements automatically.
Additional notes
Wyoming made homeschooling lighter on paperwork in 2025. If you're pulling a child out of a public school, send the district a one-time written notice when you withdraw — that's the whole filing. If your child has never been enrolled in public school, you don't need to file anything to start homeschooling. Either way, plan to teach a "basic academic educational program" — reading, writing, math, civics, history, literature, and science — but you no longer have to submit your curriculum to the local board. A religious exemption is also available. (Wyo. Stat. § 21-4-101 / § 21-4-102, as updated by the 2025 Homeschool Freedom Act, HB 46.)
