Utah law refers specifically to homeschooling in Utah Code 53G-6-204(2). To comply with state law in Utah parents who homeschool must to the following.

1. File an Affidavit with the local education agency (LEA) for each child you are homeschooling. After submitting the affidavit the school board will send you a Certificate acknowledging your homeschool program within 30 days. Annually a new certificate will be issued each year by 1 August.

As long as you reside in the same school district you do not need to refile the affidavit.

2. Provide Instruction to your children. In Utah there are no required days of instruction or required curriculum content or subjects. The parent is solely responsible for the selection of instructional materials of textbooks.

3. In Utah homeschool students are eligible to participate in extracurricular activities at a public school consistent with eligibility standards. This process is commonly known as Dual Enrollment and is referenced in Utah Code 53A-11-102.5.
