"The Utah State Law [Section 53-A-11-102 (b) (ii)] states that a home educator is to:
1. Hold school 180 days a year, 4 1/2 hours a day for grades one and 5, 1/2 hours a day for grades two through twelve. (This does not mean that the home education program should be patterned after a public school program, i.e. 5 1/2 hours sitting at a desk. A mixture of formal and informal learning activities work best for most home educators).
2. Teach the subjects prescribed by law. This is basically the Utah State Core Curriculum. It can be obtained from any school district, or the state Office of Education (250 E. 500 S., SLC).
3. Request an exemption from compulsory attendance from your local school district.
There are no other statutory requirements."
