Home Schooling
Exercising the choice to take responsibility for your child’s education is a fundamental right that needs to be protected here in North Carolina. In 2008-2009, more than 77,000 students were educated in home schools across our state. And that number continues to rise each year.

“Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina is an organization that has my interests in mind when advancing the issue of parental school choice in our state. Their efforts further legitimize my choice to home school my children by highlighting the need for greater options in North Carolina.” —Jonathan Roberts |
As we work to empower families through choice in education, Parents for Educational Freedom in North Carolina (PEFNC) has your interests in mind. Why? Because home schooling parents are the epitome of true educational choice. After all, you have chosen to exercise that freedom on a daily basis.

“My daughter’s learning style may not be accommodated in a traditional classroom setting, but she thrives under the one-on-one instruction provided at home. As her parent, I am uniquely qualified to make decisions about her educational needs.” —Angie Cutlip |
Every North Carolina parent should have the ultimate decision-making power in determining the best path for their child’s education. No matter which educational path you choose, PEFNC knows all too well that when parents are in the driver’s seat, everyone wins!
From giving up salaries and family vacations to paying out-of-pocket for curriculum and supplies, home schooling parents make enormous sacrifices. We understand that you work to provide the best education for your child without the benefit of public educational resources already funded through your tax dollars.
In North Carolina, more than 41,000 families have chosen home schooling as an educational option, and the number continues to grow. To hear from local parents who have made the choice to school from home, watch the video above.
