Homeschooling in Wyoming

What Wyoming actually asks of a family teaching their own children. Written plainly, and honest where the answer is that nobody asks for anything.

United StatesNo filing required

Who is in charge

Local board of trustees (historically); as of 1 July 2025 nothing is submitted

Who actually reviews your child

No one, as of 1 July 2025.

What you must file

Nothing. There is no registration, no notice and no annual return to submit in Wyoming. That freedom is real, and it carries a quiet catch: because nobody ever required a record, there is no file to reach for the day someone finally asks what your child has learned.

The part the paperwork does not cover

Filing on time is the easy half. The harder half is the year in between: showing what your child actually learned, in words the reviewer recognises, without turning your home into a school.

That is what this tool is for. You say what your child did, in a sentence. It maps that to the published standards we hold for Wyoming, which today are Mathematics (487 of 496) and Science (502 of 535). Those figures count the topics we carry for ages 5 to 12 that cite one of Wyoming's published standards. We do not hold Wyoming's own standards for English and Social Studies yet, and they are being added. Physical Education is not in the app for Wyoming yet. A moment in any of those subjects is kept on the general map for your child's age and named that way in the record, so the record never cites Wyoming's curriculum where we hold none of it. Then it builds the record you can hand over the day someone asks. See how it works.

Not yet confirmed at the government's own source. The requirements above agree across the sources we could reach, but we have not read them on the authority's own page. Treat them as a guide and confirm before you file.
Our earlier record said HB 46 also removed a 'letter of intent'. The Act's title and text address only the curriculum submission. No letter-of-intent provision was found in W.S. 21-4-102; the claim is withdrawn rather than restated.
Sources last checked on 2026-08-19: wyoleg.gov. That is the date we checked, not the date the rule last changed.
The law itself: W.S. § 21-4-101; § 21-4-102(b); HB 46 (2025). We hold no direct link to the authority's page for this jurisdiction.
