Welcome to Educational Freedom – Home Education information and support service.

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.

A great way of ensuring your Home Education journey goes smoothly is to read all of this website. The menu at the top will help you navigate each section.

 

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. 

 

Where to find us after you've read our website. 

Home Ed news, updates and blog posts.

Make sure to also look through our menu for the rest of the site.

🌿 Starting a Local Home Ed Group – It’s Easier Than You Think! 🤝✨ Dreaming of a little community where families can learn, play, and grow together? Here’s how to start your own local home ed group: 1️⃣ Spread the word - Let your local facebook groups know. Let everyone know! 🌱 2️⃣ Find a Spot – Parks, libraries, community halls, or even your garden can make the perfect meet-up space. 3️⃣ Pick a Rhythm – Weekly nature walks, monthly project days, or casual coffee mornings — consistency helps! 4️⃣ Share the Load – Everyone can bring something — a story, a craft, a snack, or a smile. 💛 5️⃣ Keep It Simple – Focus on connection over perfection. Kids (and adults!) learn best when they feel at home. Learning together builds friendships, confidence, and joy — right where you are. 🌈 “Community begins when we show up.” 💬 #HomeEducation #LearningTogether #CommunityLearning #HomeEdLife #FamilyLearning
