Nationwide, how many home schoolers are there?
Home schoolers are in good company! In 1997, Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home School Education Research Institute (http://www.hslda.org/docs/study/ray1997/03.asp) estimated that there were 1.23 million children home schooled in America during the 1996 1997 school year. (See Strengths of Their Own: Home Schoolers Across America Ray,1997) At the current growth rate, we estimate that the school year of 2000 2001 would see America with about 2.3 million home schooled children. Here at Haven Learning Center, we have seen a 33% increase in annual enrollments. We currently have about 150 enrolled students.
