Can I homeschool overseas?
Many foreign countries have specific laws allowing homeschooling, or have very loose compulsory attendance laws that are satisfied by a homeschool program. HSLDA is working hard to change the laws in the few countries that currently do not allow homeschooling, but even in those countries American citizens have experienced few problems with school officials. If there is any pressure from the educational authorities, we will assist members with the situation. While we cannot actually litigate outside of the United States, there are a number of other political and diplomatic measures we can employ. Families living on a military base overseas are not subject to the education laws of their host country, and therefore can homeschool under U.S. laws.
