Homeschooling is an education option in which parents direct their children's education rather than enrolling them full-time in a public school or private school. Homeschooling parents take charge of their children's education through learning at home, joining co-ops, hiring tutors, participating in academic clubs, taking community college classes, and much more. Homeschooling is parent-directed and/or child-directed education that allows for a personalized education plan. Some homeschoolers may take advantage of part-time enrollment offered through public or private schools while others may entirely opt-out of institutional education. As formal preschool has become more popular, more parents who do not send their kids to preschool also refer to this as \\"homeschooling\\" in preschool or pre-K, but the term usually refers to students educated at home from kindergarten through homeschooling high school.
