“There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent” – Mahatma Gandhi. In the past decade, homeschooling has evolved to become one of the fastest growing forms of education in the United States. A study by the National Home Education Research Institute reported an estimated 2.3 million children are currently home-schooled, a number that grows between 2-8% each year. The rapid growth is likely attributed to parents recognizing the benefits of customizing their children’s education. Home-educated students on average scored 15-30 percentile points higher on standardized tests than public school students, and typically measured above average across social, emotional, and psychological development. As a result, the homeschooling segment will continue to grow in both size and awareness, and will also garner increased interest from leading global educational content, technology, and delivery platform companies.
