Your choice to homeschool has never been more important. 

In response to COVID-19, remote learning and social distancing, a record-breaking number of families have chosen to homeschool—many for the first time.

Forty percent of parents nationwide believed their children were behind academically after 2020 spring school closures (according to data collected by the State Policy Network in June 2020).

Yet, according to the same data, only one-third of parents said they were comfortable sending their children back to school.

Many Texans feel the same way.

Immediately following the release of the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) back-to-school guidelines in July, Texas Home School Coalition (THSC) saw a 1,700 percent increase in the number of families who withdrew from public schools using THSC’s online withdrawal tool.

A January 7th report from the Texas Education Agency showed that statewide enrollment in public schools dropped 3% from 2019 to 2020.

Additionally, in August, Gallup reported that homeschooling nationwide had doubled. This could mean that the new number of homeschoolers in Texas could be as high as 670,000.

In the wake of these challenging times, many more families are choosing to homeschool.

The choice to homeschool has always been yours. THSC will continue to protect your liberties as we work for Keeping Texas Families Free!
