Puzzle #255 · February 11, 2026
A “home study” is a class or entire course of study carried out in one's home, rather than in a traditional classroom setting. Home study differs from homeschooling because it is educator led vs homeschooling is parent led.

A home study can also be an assessment of parents who are looking to adopt a child, to see if they would be suitable parents.
