The number of young people being homeschooled has dramatically increased since the pandemic with a 20% increase in the number of children being homeschooled in 2024 vs 2023. However, as the complexity of curriculum content increases in secondary education, and preparation for the external GCSE and A level exams comes into focus, some parents feel homeschooling is no longer something they can manage themselves.
Young people are homeschooled for a whole variety of reasons and some students reach the point where they would like some interaction with other young people, but don’t feel comfortable with that being in a large traditional school environment. Sometimes, through career changes or other personal circumstances, parents are no longer able to commit to homeschooling their child. A great substitute for this is learning online in a small school like Elea High.
Elea High Online School has proven very effective for many parents and their children, as it allows students to learn from home, taught by expert and caring teachers, with access to plenty of learning resources that enable them to thrive.
