Wyoming's Homeschool Freedom Act (HB 46), effective July 1, 2025, eliminated the annual letter of intent and curriculum-submission requirements entirely — a sweeping reduction in oversight that makes Wyoming one of the least-regulated homeschool states in the country.

📚 Required Subjects in Wyoming

- History
- Literature
- Science
Wyoming's seven required subjects must be taught through a "sequentially progressive curriculum" — meaning the content should build in difficulty year over year, even though you no longer need to submit that curriculum for district review.
📁 Record-Keeping in Wyoming
- No notice or letter of intent needs to be filed or kept on record with your school district under current law
- Since curriculum no longer needs submission, keeping your own informal records of what's covered each year is still good practice for continuity
- No test scores or portfolios need to be submitted to any authority
- Keep a copy of your one-time notice of withdrawal if you withdrew a child from public school to homeschool
⚠️ Always verify current requirements with your state department of education or the Home School Legal Defense Association (hslda.org). Laws can change and this page is for general reference only.
Getting Started / Withdrawing from Public School in Wyoming
As of Wyoming's Homeschool Freedom Act (effective July 1, 2025), you no longer need to notify your local school district or submit a letter of intent to begin homeschooling. If your child is currently enrolled in public school, you only need to send a one-time notice of withdrawal. Your program still needs to provide a sequentially progressive curriculum covering the seven required subjects (reading, writing, math, civics, history, literature, science), but you do not need to show that curriculum to the district for approval or file any ongoing paperwork.
