Abstract: The dissertation involves an investigation into home schooling in South Africa as an \nalternative to institutionalised schooling. This is done by means of qualitative research \ntechniques, whereby an ethnographic study of a single home-schooling family takes \nplace. This study occurs against the background established by a comprehensive \nliterature review of the context, nature, scope and current issues of the home-schooling \nmovement, in selected international countries as well as in South Africa. The study \ninvestigates the modus operandi of a home school in an attempt to explore actual practice \nand to uncover primary data. Limited recommendations for home schooling on the basis \nof the literature study and the specific qualitative inquiry are made.
