Homeschooling is an increasingly popular educational alternative in which children learn outside of conventional schools under the general supervision of their parents. Some homeschooling families operate like small-scale versions of conventional schools, with textbooks and tests and traditional grades. Others adapt ideas from alternative educational philosophies and give children considerable control over what is learned and how learning takes place. There are numerous websites dedicated to those that wish to home school. Explore the world-wide web for the many homeschooling options available.

F.E. Warren AFB has a home school group that coordinates on and off base activities and field trips. The Youth Center also offers a weekly PE class for homeschoolers during the school year.

Military Interstate Children's Compact Commission (MIC3)

Wyoming entered into the MIC3 in March 2012. The Compact deals with the challenges of military children and their frequent relocation. It allows for uniform treatment as military children transfer between school districts in member states. The Compact assists military families with: transfer of records, course sequencing, graduation requirements, exclusion from extra-curricular activities, redundant or missed entrance/exit testing, kindergarten and first grade entrance age variances, and power of custodial parents while parents are deployed.
