What is HSLDA s involvement, if any, in the international growth of home education?
HSLDA is frequently contacted by individuals or associations in foreign countries asking for help with homeschooling issues. The types of inquiries range from individuals who are being prosecuted for homeschooling to those who are seeking to change their country s law to improve the atmosphere for homeschooling, or who are establishing their own homeschool association. We have assigned Christopher Klicka, Senior Counsel of HSLDA, to assist, wherever possible, homeschoolers in other countries where the law is difficult or does not provide for homeschooling. HSLDA has provided information to parents in many other countries who want to set up homeschool legal defense organizations. We are currently working with homeschoolers in South Africa, Brazil, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, and Japan, among others, to establish the freedom to homeschool in those countries. We will not establish a branch of HSLDA in a foreign country.
