The PI-1206 Homeschool Report, required for all Wisconsin homeschoolers each year, affirms that each Home Based Private Educational Program is meeting certain requirements. These requirements are listed in Wis Stat 118.165(1), which reads:

1. “An institution is a private school if its educational program meets all of the following criteria:

(a)The primary purpose of the program is to provide private or religious-based education.

(b)The program is privately controlled.

(c) The program provides at least 875 hours of instruction each school year.

(d) The program provides a sequentially progressive curriculum of fundamental instruction in reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science and health. This subsection does not require the program to include in its curriculum any concept, topic, or practice in conflict with the program’s religious doctrines or to exclude from its curriculum any concept, topic, or practice consistent with the program’s religious doctrines.

(e) The program is not operated or instituted for the purpose of avoiding or circumventing the compulsory school attendance requirement under s. 118.15 (1) (a) and (am).
