South Africa Homeschooling
There are more than 10,000 home educating families in South
Africa. The numbers have been escalating each year since it was
legalised in 1996. Parents can receive support from associations,
legal organisations, curriculum providers and support groups
in their communities. From Dynamis.
Associations

able to educate their own children at home. We provide information
on home education. We create platforms for home educators to
meet and network.

The Association endeavours to obtain the recognition of society
and the protection of the law for the obligation and concomitant
right of parents to educate and school their children in every
respect. A large site with lots of resources for all.
Western Cape Home Schooling Association
South Africa is just starting to format homeshooling laws. This
site is of interest to all, to follow along with this struggle.
