Homeschooling is rapidly becoming more and more popular in Israel, with hundreds of families throughout the country educating their children at home. There are homeschooling support groups in every part of Israel.

Homeschooling in Israel is legal, and in recent years the Ministry of Education has released guidelines for receiving permission to homeschool.

The Israel Home Education Association provides support for homeschoolers and unschoolers in Israel by maintaining this web site and an email mailing list.
