Under Wis. Stat. 118.165(d), Wisconsin homeschools must provide instruction in “reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science and health.”

Public schools have specific topics of study which must be included in their curriculum. Wisconsin homeschools do not share these mandates. As the administrator of your homeschool, you are free, under the law, to decide how these topics are covered, and whether to include additional topics in your home-based private educational program.

If you hear or read of an educational requirement, read the applicable Wisconsin statute to see if it includes ‘home-based private educational program.’ If it does not, you do not have to meet that requirement.
