Historical Roots of Homeschooling

Historical Roots of Homeschooling

September 4, 2025

Homeschooling has deep historical roots, stretching back centuries when formal schools were scarce or reserved for elites. Figures like Abraham Lincoln, who honed his intellect through self-study and his mothers guidance in a frontier cabin, and Thomas Edison, whose mother withdrew him from school to foster his curiosity, exemplify early homeschooling. In medieval Europe, noble families often educated children at home with tutors, emphasizing skills like reading, rhetoric, or warfare. This precedent highlights homeschoolings ability to nurture independent thinking, tailored to individual needs, and its enduring role in shaping influential minds across history.
