Under Wisconsin law, a homeschool or Home Based Private Educational Program (HBPEP) is a legal category of school, equal to a public school or private school for the purpose of fulfilling Wisconsin’s compulsory attendance requirement (Wis Stat 115.001(3)(g); 118.165(1)).
WHPA provides information about homeschooling in Wisconsin. WHPA does not provide specific legal advice to any specific individuals in the context of any specific matters. It is the responsibility of each homeschool administrator/parent or guardian to read original source material and make decisions on compliance for themselves. When you file the PI-1206 Homeschool Report with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, you take full responsibility for understanding and complying with the laws outlined on that form. WHPA does not endorse or provide curriculum suggestions or specific materials for any particular educational approach.
