Guidelines for Administrative Staff

Welcome to this space dedicated to School Principals, School Offices, lawyers, social workers, and all those who play a crucial role in ensuring the right to education for young people. Here, you will find clear and accessible information to understand and support families who choose homeschooling.

Homeschooling can raise questions or uncertainties, but we wish to emphasize that it is a fully legitimate educational choice in Italy, enriching and aligned with the values of educational freedom enshrined in the Constitution. As principals and school staff, they are essential partners in facilitating this process, ensuring proper oversight and compliance with regulations, while respecting the educational freedom and responsibility of parents. The information in this guide will walk them through the administrative management of homeschooling procedures, always in line with current regulations. The resources provided will also be useful for lawyers and social workers who may be involved in cases related to homeschooling.

We encourage Italian administrations to explore this available resource, with the awareness that positive collaboration between educational institutions and families can strengthen the right to education and promote diverse educational pathways that respect individual needs. The text is in Italian.
