State Laws and Regulations - Wisconsin

Welcome to homeschooling in Wisconsin! We encourage you to discuss the laws and regulations regarding home education with other homeschoolers who live in your state, and especially with those who are knowledgeable about the homeschooling climate in your local community.

Homeschooling laws and regulations vary from state to state; there is no federal authority for all laws and regulations which can affect homeschooling.

Each parent who chooses to homeschool their children in Wisconsin takes on a responsibility to familiarize themselves with the specific laws and regulations which affect homeschooling families in their state.

There are many good resources for help, beginning with the homeschool support groups, organizations, listservs, websites and helpful individuals. To find out more visit the Support Groups section of this web site.

Please Note: This is not intended to be legal advice and is distributed for informational purposes only. For more information about the laws and regulations in this state please contact a state or local support group.

Wisconsin State Legislature

On or before October 15, each "administrator" of a home-based private education program must submit, on forms provided by the department of public instruction, a statement of the home-school's enrollment on the third Friday of September. The form is one page and on it you must state that the program of instruction is provided by the child's parent or guardian or by a person designated by the parent or guardian; that the primary purpose of the program is to provide private or religious based education; that the program is privately controlled, provides a minimum of 875 hours of instruction each year, provides a sequentially progressive curriculum of fundamental instruction in six mandated subject areas; and that the program is not operated or instituted for the purpose of avoiding or circumventing the compulsory school attendance requirement.

The form states that they don't approve or disapprove your curriculum and they suggest you keep a record of your activities and the time spent on them.

There are no testing requirements.
