- 2
File the required notice
Submit the state's notice of intent (or affidavit / private-school registration, depending on the state) with your local district or department of education. This is usually a one-page form filed annually.
- 3
Choose curriculum and plan your year
Choose curriculum that fits your child's grade level and any required subjects, then sketch a year-long plan you can adjust as you go.
Frequently asked
Do I need to notify the state to homeschool in Wyoming?
Yes — but the requirement is light. Most families file a one-page notice or affidavit each year with the state or local district.
Does Wyoming require homeschool standardized testing?
Standardized testing is generally not required at the state level, though some districts or umbrella schools may ask for it.
Can homeschool families in Wyoming access ESA or scholarship funding?
