Home Schooling

Twenty years ago there were roughly 15,000 homeschooled students in the United States. By 1991 the U.S. Department of Education figured there were 350,000 home schools in the U.S. and 40,000 in Canada. Today estimates stretch over 2 million home schools nationwide. The world of education has had to adjust to this exploding movement.

The average homeschooled 8th grade student performs four grade levels above the national average (Rudner study). One in four homeschooled students (24.5%) are enrolled one or more grades above age level. Students who have been home schooled their entire lives have the highest scholastic achievement. In every subject and at every grade level of the ITBS and TAP batteries, homeschooled students scored significantly higher than their counterparts in public and private schools.
