Homeschooling international status and statistics
Homeschooling is legal in many countries. Countries with the most prevalent home education movements include Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Some countries have highly regulated home education programs as an extension of the compulsory school system; others, such as Germany, have outlawed it entirely. In other countries, while not restricted by law, homeschooling is not socially acceptable or considered undesirable and is virtually non-existent. Homeschooling is currently permitted in Kenya. The freedom of homeschooling is however under threat in Kenya, because a new education law has been proposed that does not make any allowance for homeschooling.
Homeschooling
Homeschooling, also known as home education, is the education of children inside the home. Home education is usually conducted by a parent or tutor. Many families use less formal ways of educating. "Homeschooling" is the term commonly used in North America, whereas "home education" is commonly used in the United Kingdom, Europe, and in many Commonwealth countries. Before the introduction of compulsory school attendance laws, most childhood education was done by families and local communities. In many developed countries, homeschooling is a legal alternative to public and private schools. In other nations, homeschooling remains illegal or restricted to specific conditions, as recorded by Homeschooling international status and statistics.
Homeschooling in the United States
Homeschooling in the United States constitutes the education of about 3.4% of U.S. students (approximately 2 million students). In the United States, the Supreme Court has ruled that parents have a fundamental right to direct the education of their children. The right to homeschool is not frequently questioned in court. But, the amount of state regulation and help that can or should be expected continues to be subject to legal debate. United States Supreme Court precedent appears to favor educational choice, as long as states set standards. Originally homeschooling in the United States was practiced mainly underground or in rural areas.
Home education in the United Kingdom
Home education in the UK is often termed "elective home education" (EHE) to signify the independent nature of practice from state provisions such as education for children with ill-health provided by the local authority in the family home. EHE is a collective term used in the UK to describe education provided other than through the schooling system. Parents have a duty to ensure their children are educated but the education legislation in England and Wales does not differentiate between school attendance or education otherwise than at school. Scots education legislation on the other hand differentiates between public (state) school provision and education “by other means”, which includes both private schooling and home education.
List of schools in Medway
This is a list of schools in Medway, in the English county of Kent. As of 2014, 9.6% of Medway's children were home educated, though this is a likely lower than the true figure; the data relies on the number of home educated children recorded by local authorities during the 2013-2014 period (It is not compulsory for home educated children to be registered with the local authority), and the number of home educating families is increasing.
School choice
School choice is a term for K–12 public education options in the United States, describing a wide array of programs offering students and their families alternatives to publicly provided schools, to which students are generally assigned by the location of their family residence. In the United States, the most common—both by number of programs and by number of participating students—school choice programs are scholarship tax credit programs, which allow individuals or corporations to receive tax credits toward their state taxes in exchange for donations made to non-profit organizations that grant private school scholarships.
Cardus Education Survey Canada
The Cardus Education Survey: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats (Cardus II) is a Canadian report measuring non-government school effects in service of the Canadian public good. The first of its kind to explore the topic in Canada, the study was a survey from a representative sample of graduates of government and non-government schools ages 24–39. The data included graduates from schools in all provinces except for Quebec, which is included separately in the report. The data was collected in March 2012. The report was made available on September 26, 2012 at http://www.cardus.ca/research/education/. A Cardus Education Survey was published in the United States in 2011 called "Do the Motivations for Private Religious Catholic and Protestant Schooling in North America Align with Graduate Outcomes?

Bravo! Great job! I also think that is the way to go myself. I think you have more control over what your children are learning.
