What is home schooling in NSW?
Parents in NSW are allowed to choose home schooling to provide for the compulsory schooling of their children. Home schooling means that the parent takes responsibility for educating their child, primarily in the child’s home.
To be home schooled, a child must:
- be registered by the NSW Department of Education, and
- reside in NSW.
Home schooling applicants may now access a range of department resources for children and parents
