Homeschooling, also known as home education, is the education of children at home or a variety of other non-school places.

In many developed countries, homeschooling is a legal alternative to public and private schools. In other countries, homeschooling remains illegal or restricted to specific conditions.

In the United States, Whites are over-represented as being homeschooled. On average, homeschoolers score at or above the country average on standardized tests. Homeschooling increased in popularity in the United States during the 2000s; the percentage of children ages 5 through 17 who were homeschooled increased from 1.7% in 1999 to 3% in 2011/12.

Less politically correct motivations for homeschooling include increasing anti-White and other politically correct views being promoted in public schools.
