Homeschooling in India means that as a parent you take charge of your child’s learning at home instead of sending them to a traditional school. You choose the curriculum, pace and environment. Unlike traditional schooling, homeschooling offers flexibility and personalisation.
As for legality: Yes — homeschooling in India is legal. The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 (RTE Act) mandates education for children age 6-14 but does not specify that it must be in a formal school, so homeschooling is not banned.
âś… Yes, homeschooling is completely legal in India.
The Right to Education (RTE) ensures every child’s right to education — not necessarily through formal schooling. Many families register under NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) or international boards like Cambridge IGCSE.
No. You don’t need a B.Ed. or teaching degree — just patience, curiosity, and the right guidance.
Our “Homeschool Roadmap” and 30-day flashcards make it easy for parents who’ve never taught before.
There’s no one-size-fits-all.
Popular homeschooling curriculums include:
NIOS (India’s open school)
Cambridge/IGCSE
Montessori and Play-based Learning
Unit Study or Theme-based Curriculums
We recommend blending structure + freedom through our “Homeschool Roadmap (Ages 1–6)”, which balances academics and life skills.
Most preschoolers and early learners need only 1–3 focused hours per day.
The rest should be filled with play, movement, art, and storytelling. Remember: learning is a rhythm, not a race. 🌿
Absolutely not!
Socialization happens everywhere — in playdates, clubs, nature walks, and community groups.
Homeschooled kids often form deeper and more meaningful relationships because they spend time with mixed-age peers and family.
Yes, easily.
Homeschooled students can appear for NIOS 10th & 12th exams, or Cambridge IGCSE/AS/A levels, which are accepted by Indian and international universities.
On average, homeschooling in India costs ₹2,000–₹5,000 per month, depending on materials, curriculum, and resources used.
This is often 80% cheaper than private schooling.
Yes! Many working parents successfully homeschool by using structured tools, activity-based flashcards, and short focused learning blocks.
Consistency matters more than time.
The main challenges are:
Managing time and consistency
Finding peer groups
Overcoming social pressure
However, most families find that emotional freedom and personalized growth outweigh these drawbacks.
For many families — yes.
Homeschooling allows child-led learning, emotional balance, and family bonding.
Traditional schools often focus on grades; homeschooling focuses on growth and character.
Here’s a simple 5-step roadmap:
Know your reason (Why do you want to homeschool?)
Check legal options (NIOS, IGCSE, unschooling)
Set learning goals (academic + emotional)
Use structured tools (flashcards, journals, daily plans)
Join a community (support and accountability)
That’s where homeschooling shines 🌟
You can naturally teach kindness, gratitude, patience, and resilience through daily life, not just textbooks.
Yes, absolutely.
Children can rejoin mainstream schools anytime by giving a placement or assessment test.
Most adapt faster than expected because they’ve built self-learning habits.
Through stories, play, and theme-based flashcards.
Our Homeschool Starter Pack (30 Flashcards) makes daily learning easy and joyful — no pressure, just connection.
