Home schooling is an educational model whereby the primary academic instruction of children takes place in the childs home, generally by one or both parents but sometimes by another family member or an outside tutor. It was a common means of educating children in early American history.

During much of the twentieth century, home education was practically unheard of in many circles. But during the past decade it has become perhaps the most widely growing phenomenon in American education, including the state of Colorado.
