Home schooling is an educational alternative that more and more families are turning to because parents feel that they can do a better job of teaching their children in their own home environment than what their children will get from a public school environment.

Even though it is often viewed by those in the mainstream as revolutionary or eccentric, the trend toward home schooling is growing and is gaining in popularity and respectability and is winning over an increasing number of supporters.

According to researchers who study such trends, the numbers of home schoolers in the U.S. has swelled considerably, growing from approximately 15,000 back in 1970 to over 500,000 by 1990, and estimated at over 1.1 million as of 2003.

In addition to the many support groups that can be found in the United States, many support organizations have been cropped up in Canada, England, Germany, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand clearly showing that interest in home schooling has spread significantly around the globe.
