Overview
Homeschooling in Utah is governed by Utah Code section 53G-6-204. Utah requires an annual affidavit filed with the local school district but has no standardised testing requirement and no teacher qualifications. Processes vary by district so families should contact their local district to confirm the correct affidavit form and submission process.
