This statute defines homeschooling under Wisconsin law. In Wisconsin, a “home-based private educational program” is the legal name for homeschools. This concrete definition helps protect our inherent right to homeschool. This definition of homeschooling was carefully crafted to ensure the rights of all homeschooling parents, and to reasonably limit government interference and oversight. This law is entirely unique to Wisconsin and to our legislative history. It reads:

“‘Home-based private educational program’ means a program of educational instruction provided to a child by the child’s parent or guardian or by a person designated by the parent or guardian. An instructional program provided to more than one family unit does not constitute a home-based private educational program.” (WI stat 115.001(3g))
