| Please submit sites that deal specifically with homeschooling. Regional-specific sites should be submitted in the homeschooling subcategories. Sites submitted to the general homeschooling category often take longer to get reviewed. Please do NOT submit any site related to charter schools, alternative education programs, or other government funded programs. These are NOT homeschooling, but alternative public schooling, and belong in the public school areas. Thank you. |
Homeschooling is a legal option for parents to educate their children at home rather than attending a private or government school. It is INDEPENDENT of the public school system and its funding.What homeschooling is NOT: Programs such as alternate education programs where parents educate children at home, but with funding and oversight from the public school system, are not homeschooling. They are public school programs which allow parents to educate at home. Charter schools are not homeschooling. They are taxpayer funded.
Homeschooling and public education are mutually exclusive. By its very nature, homeschooling implies familial control rather than state control.

| Please submit sites that relate specifically to Unschooling. These may include sites about the philosophy, practice, or personal experience. |
Unschooling is an educational philosophy based on the idea that children are natural learners, not needing to be led or filled with information, but learning best when they study what interests them in their own way and at their own pace. Unschooling involves letting a child choose when, how, and if to learn a specific topic. It is providing an atmosphere rich in resources, then letting the child learn what she chooses and needs to learn for her own life.As a general rule, unschoolers are homeschoolers, but not all homeschoolers are unschoolers. The main qualifier is whether education is parent-directed or child-directed (unschooling).
