Life After Homeschool: What the Research Reveals
Rebecca English
Senior Lecturer
Queensland University of Technology

As homeschooling families, we often start this journey focused on meeting our children’s immediate needs. But over time, many parents begin to ask the bigger question: what happens when homeschooling ends?

In this engaging 45-minute session, you’ll hear what the research says about the outcomes of formerly homeschooled students in Australia and overseas. Drawing on findings from a study of Australian homeschoolers, this talk explores how young people navigate the transition, the paths they choose, and the skills they carry forward.

Whether you’re new to homeschooling or nearing the later stages, this session will provide valuable insights, reassurance, and evidence-based perspectives to help you feel more confident about your child’s future beyond homeschool.
