Wyoming requires an annual letter of intent to your local school district, but a 2025 law change removed the previous requirement to submit your actual curriculum for approval — a meaningful reduction in oversight.

📚 Required Subjects in Wyoming
- Reading
- Writing
- Mathematics
- Civics
- 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
- Keep a copy of your annual letter of intent to your local school district
- 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
- Re-file your letter of intent each year — this remains an annual requirement even after the 2025 curriculum-submission change
⚠️ 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
Submit a letter of intent to your local school district annually, informing them of your plan to homeschool — this remains a yearly requirement even after Wyoming's 2025 law change removed the curriculum-submission requirement. Your program needs to provide a sequentially progressive curriculum covering the seven required subjects (reading, writing, math, civics, history, literature, science), but you no longer need to show that curriculum to the district for approval — just notify them you're homeschooling.
