Welcome to Schoolhouse
Scotland’s National Home Education Support Charity
Who are we?
Schoolhouse SCIO is Scotland’s national home education charity (SC026965), which was formed in 1996 and is now a well-established and well respected source of independent information and support for anyone interested in home education.
We aim to provide reassurance that home education is a legal and successful alternative to school, and is widely practised in Scotland. We hope you will find this website a useful resource and that you will consider becoming a member of Schoolhouse or making a donation to help us continue our work.
Schoolhouse is run entirely by volunteers and receives no government or local authority funding. It is entirely dependent on volunteers and public support.
