faqs
Homeschooling is an educational option where parents or guardians take primary responsibility for their child’s education at home rather than enrolling them in a traditional public or private school. Instruction can be customized to fit a child’s learning style, pace, and interests.
who can homeschool?
Parents or legal guardians can homeschool their children. In most places, no formal teaching degree is required, though some regions may have minimum education requirements for parents. Any adult can educate your child including family and friends.
what curricula do homeschoolers use?
Homeschool families can choose from:
-
Pre-packaged homeschool curricula
-
Online or virtual programs
-
Unit studies or project-based learning
-
Faith-based or secular materials
-
A combination of multiple resources
Curriculum choices depend on legal requirements, educational goals, and the child’s learning style.
how can we socialize?
Yes. Homeschoolers socialize through:
-
Homeschool co-ops and groups
-
Sports teams and clubs
-
Community classes and activities
-
Volunteer work
-
Religious or cultural organizations
Socialization is often more age-diverse and community-based.
how much time does it take?
Homeschooling often takes less time than traditional school. Younger children may need 1–3 hours per day, while older students may spend 4–6 hours, including independent work. Learning can happen throughout the day, not just during “school hours.”
do parents follow a set schedule?
No. One of the benefits of homeschooling is flexibility. Families can follow a traditional schedule, year-round schooling, or a schedule that fits work, travel, or other commitments.
how much does it cost?
​Costs vary widely. Homeschooling can be low-cost using free or inexpensive resources, or more expensive with full curricula and online programs. Families control their education budget.
