Unschooling Families: The Website

Legalities

In Wisconsin, we must file form PI-1206 with the Department of Public Instruction, not asking for permission, but informing them that we are instructing our children at home. This form attests that we are not circumventing the school attendance laws and are providing at least 875 hours of instruction per year covering at least reading, language arts, math, social studies, science and health.

To request the form, call 608- 266-5761 or write to:
Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
Bureau for School Management Services and Federal Aids
125 S. Webster St.
P.O.Box 7841
Madison, WI 53707-7841

We strongly urge you to get a copy of Homeschooling in Wisconsin: At Home with Learning by the Wisconsin Parents Association, P.O.Box 2502, Madison, WI 54701-2502 for $24.95 (members receive a discount.)
