"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."
