About this listen

Join us, Tom and Leah, UK based parents, on a deep dive into both the school and home education systems as we try and figure out which route is best for our children.We'll be exploring some of the most talked about challenges of both home and state funded education methods. Trying to take an objective view and using scientific research where possible. We will also be interviewing people from both sides of these drastically different worlds. Whether you're interested in potentially home schooling or just fascinated as to why people would, we look forward to sharing what we find with you.

    What’s it like to be homeschooled your entire life, with seven siblings, in New Zealand?

    In this episode, we talk to a journalist who was home educated from birth through to further education, without ever setting foot in a traditional school.

    We dig into everything from socialisation and sibling dynamics to how he tackled exams, discovered his passion for journalism, and whether he’d home educate his own future children. He shares honest reflections on what worked, what was tricky, and what he wishes more people understood about home education.

    Whether you're considering homeschooling in New Zealand, the UK, or anywhere else, this is a rare and insightful peek into what lifelong home education can really look like.

    Today we’re lucky enough to be joined by Lewis — a former teacher turned home-educating parent who now runs an alternative education space nestled among the trees.

    Note: I have added time stamps for the questions we asked but they’re not necessarily that helpful because, like all the best conversations, it branched off and flowed in many different ways!

    I am sorry, I tried to find the episode about how Lewis would create a new education system but I could not!
