Utah Homeschool Laws
Utah is very free in how you decide to homeschool your child. They hold no regulations regarding the subjects you teach and how you teach them. You also do not need any special educational degree to teach your child from home. The only thing that Utah requires of you is to file a signed and notarized affidavit. The affidavit is basically a note that says your child is being homeschooled and that you take full responsibility for their education. Here are a few important facts you should note about the affidavit:- You only need to file it once (When you start homeschooling)
- You must file it for EACH child you homeschool
- The affidavit will be sent to your child's school district
