About Homeschool
Who
Homeschools?
Homeschooling families are becoming ever more diverse. Many years ago, homeschooling families were considered outside the norm. Today, many families choose to school their children at home.
The most recent research from The National Center for Education Statistics tells us that a larger percentage of parents said that a concern about the environment of other schools was an important reason for homeschooling their child than in previous studies. Other reasons listed were dissatisfaction with the academic instruction available, and the desire to provide moral instruction.
