Homeschooling Defined

Homeschooling is a family-centered way of learning where parents guide their child’s education outside of a traditional school setting. Instead of following the same pace as a large classroom, families have the freedom to shape lessons around their child’s unique strengths, needs, and interests.

Learning can happen anywhere — at the kitchen table, outdoors, in libraries, or through real-life experiences like travel, hobbies, and community activities. Many families also join homeschool groups, sports teams, and co-ops, making learning social and connected.

At its heart, homeschooling gives parents the chance to provide a safe, flexible, and personalized education while building stronger family bonds and helping children grow into confident, independent learners.
