home education
Definition
- Home education (U.K. term), or homeschooling (U.S. term), describes an education based in the home rather than in an institution and one that is facilitated by parents rather than teachers. Whereas a school education takes place in a specific location, home-based education is likely to have a more transient focus as parents and children make educational visits, attend social gatherings, and join other group activities outside the home.
