How to Homeschool in Utah

File a one-time signed notice of intent with your district (2025's HB 209 dropped the notarization). No renewal, testing, or reporting.

Is homeschooling legal in Utah?

Yes — homeschooling is legal in every U.S. state. Utah is a low-regulation state, meaning you file a one-time notice or declaration, with no ongoing testing or reporting. Children roughly ages 6–18 must be enrolled in school or a legal homeschool.

How to get started

In Utah, you send a notice to your local school board / district. File the one-time signed notice of intent with your district.
