Does homeschooling cost more than public school?

Homeschooling costs can vary widely depending on various factors such as curriculum choices, materials needed, and additional expenses. While some families may find that homeschooling is less expensive than private school or public school, it is not necessarily the case for all families. Public schooling is typically funded through taxes and is generally free to attend, excluding optional fees or supplies. Homeschooling can incur costs such as curriculum, textbooks, supplies, extracurricular activities, and educational resources. On the other hand, homeschooling can also offer unique opportunities to save on transportation, school uniforms, and may provide flexibility to pursue educational experiences outside of the traditional school setting. Families considering homeschooling should research and carefully plan their budget to determine if it aligns with their financial capabilities.
