homeschool
Educate at residence
Homeschool means to educate children at home rather than sending them to a traditional school.
Parents who homeschool typically design their own curriculum or follow established programs: We decided to homeschool our kids through middle school.
The practice spans the ideological spectrum, from religious conservatives to progressive unschoolers.
As a noun, a homeschool is such an arrangement.
