THE place for all things Home Education.

Educational Freedom is a non-profit organisation providing Home Education information and support. Our primary purpose is ensuring all Home Educators have access to FREE information and support. We aim to provide everything you could ever need to know about Home Education.

Home Education and where to start.

Making the decision to Home Educate can be daunting. But be assured that there is plenty of support out there! There are lots of families that have been in your situation, and we have supported tens of thousands of them.

Read through all of our website to learn all about Home Education. Use the menu to navigate through all of our pages especially the WHAT TO DO FIRST page for your country. Navigating through each page in turn really will help you understand everything you need to do. Then move on to the dealing with the LA section.

PLEASE NOTE: MOST PAGES SHOULD NOT BE READ AS A STAND ALONE PAGE, ENSURE YOU READ THE INFO IN OTHER MENTIONED PAGES TOO.
