WISCONSIN HOMESCHOOL LAW
Compulsory
School Age: 6 - 18 (by September 1)
Wisconsin
state law offers one legal homeschooling option, which is to operate a
"home-based private educational program." Parents wishing to
school their children under this option must annually submit a statement
of enrollment with the State Department of Public Instruction by October
15. Homeschool students are required to attend a minimum of 875
hours of instruction each year. State law does require that the
following subjects be studied: reading, language arts, math, social
studies, science, and health. However, the state has no authority
to determine how the subjects are studied so as not to "conflict with
the program's religious doctrines." There are no regulations
requiring parent/teacher qualifications, recordkeeping, or testing for
this option.
