home education

Learning at residence

Home education is the practice of teaching children at home rather than sending them to school, with parents or tutors providing instruction.

The term is common in British English; Americans typically say homeschooling.

They chose home education for religious reasons.

The home education community has grown substantially since the pandemic.
