- "Of course, nearly every witch and wizard in Britain has been educated at Hogwarts, but their parents had the right to teach them at home or send them abroad if they preferred."

Home-schooling referred to the education of children at home by their parents rather than by teachers in schools.[1]
History[]
Most British and Irish witches and wizards were home-educated before going to Hogwarts. There was always a danger that young children would use magic, whether inadvertently or deliberately, as seen with Kevin, who was visiting the 1994 Quidditch World Cup with his parents. Children could not be trusted in terms of their ability to conceal their abilities.[2]
Home-schooling was common in the wizarding communities of most countries due to the small number of wizarding schools that were available.[3]
Isolt Sayre,[4] Liz Tuttle's mother,[5] Jules Egwu,[6] Qui LeBlanc,[7] and Delphini[8] were all witches who were home-schooled, as opposed to having been educated at a wizarding school.
Abraham Ronen received homeschooling from his father, but was unstimulated by his 'Socratic' method of teaching. As a result, he later became a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he wished to teach others in a more fun and interactive way.[9]
