In New South Wales, families are choosing homeschooling in growing numbers, and for good reason. Whether your child needs a fresh start, a more flexible schedule, or simply a way to learn that suits them, homeschooling gives you that freedom.
In NSW, children aged 6 to 17 are required to register with the NSW Department of Education before beginning homeschooling. The process includes an Authorised Person home visit, but it is straightforward and well-supported. Euka is here to guide you through every step.
Euka’s program builds on the NSW Curriculum and Australian Curriculum, designed from the ground up for home learners from Kindergarten to Year 12. Whether you’re in Sydney, regional New South Wales, or anywhere in between, your child can study at their own pace, on their own schedule.
Ready to enrol?
We offer a curriculum for every stage of learning – kindergarten, primary, secondary, and senior. The first step in enrolling is simply selecting your child’s grade level.
Homeschooling in NSW is a legal, well-supported education pathway governed by the Education Act 1990. Here is what you need to know to get started.
Register with the NSW Department of Education
All NSW children aged 6 to 17 must be registered with the NSW Department of Education before beginning homeschooling. Registration is free and requires an educational program based on NSW syllabuses.
Choose a curriculum You are free to choose your own curriculum. Euka provides a complete, structured program aligned to the NSW Curriculum and Australian Curriculum, designed specifically for home learners with no teaching experience required.
Complete the Authorised Person visit A Government Authorised Person (AP) will contact you within two to three weeks to arrange an assessment home visit. This is unique to NSW. Your Euka learning plans give you everything you need for this visit.
Start learning Once your registration certificate is received, your child can formally begin. Lessons are delivered online through Euka’s Student Portal, with a Parent Portal for tracking progress and accessing reports.
Re-register each year Renewal forms should be submitted at least 3 months before the current registration expires. An annual AP reporting visit is also part of the renewal process. Euka’s Registration Service and Report Creator prepare everything you need.
The NSW syllabus key learning areas covered by Euka
The NSW Department of Education requires all registered home schoolers to provide an educational program based on relevant NSW syllabuses across the key learning areas.
Euka’s program is designed to cover every one of them. ● English: Literacy, reading, writing, and language across all year levels. ● Mathematics: Numeracy, algebra, geometry, and problem-solving from Kindergarten to Year 12. ● Science and Technology: Biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences, with hands-on activities. ● Human Society and Its Environment (HSIE): History, geography, civics, and economics. ● Creative Arts: Visual arts and performing arts, including music, drama, and design. ● Languages: Interactive language learning available from primary through secondary. ● Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE): Wellbeing, nutrition, fitness, and personal development. ● Technologies: Digital literacy, design thinking, and emerging technologies.
If selected for a reporting visit, Euka’s built-in reporting tools help you compile the work samples and evidence of learning your Authorised Person will ask to see.
Why embrace homeschooling
Build self confidence through ownership
When children have greater ownership over their learning, they develop real self-belief, and the skills to carry it with them into whatever comes next.
Study anywhere, anytime, at your own pace
Euka’s program is fully online. Your child can study from home, a library, a cafe, or anywhere your family happens to be, whenever works best for you.
Balance study with elite sport, the arts, or life
Homeschooling gives students the flexibility to train, compete, perform, or travel without sacrificing their education. Study around football training, dance rehearsals, or a family trip, not the other way around.
Safe, supportive learning environment
Away from playground pressures and negative social dynamics, homeschooling gives children the space to focus on learning, build confidence, and grow at their own pace.
NSW Department of Education registration and reporting
NSW families are required to register with the NSW Department of Education before beginning homeschooling. Children aged 6 to 17 must be registered, and an Authorised Person (AP) home visit is part of both the initial registration and the annual renewal process.
Euka’s Registration Service prepares all the documentation you need, including your child’s full learning plan and individualised education plan. You download it and submit it to the Department yourself. It is that straightforward.
With greater flexibility, homeschooled kids engage with the world around them more than kids stuck in a classroom. They learn from real-world projects, community groups, sport or excursions, and have the time to pursue their passions or take on work experience.
Homeschooled kids are lonely
Homeschooled students socialise in many different ways through sport, clubs, co-ops, meetups, and more. They’re not limited to one classroom, they build friendships across age groups, settings, and interests.
Homeschooled kids don’t do extracurricular activities
Many families specifically choose homeschooling to enable their child to pursue their passion whether that’s music, dance, coding, sport, drama, and more. With the additional flexibility that homeschooling provides, students can balance their learning around their chosen pursuit.
Homeschooled kids just play all day
Homeschooling is far more efficient than a traditional classroom. Euka students enjoy learning in ways that suit them. They complete their required study in around 2 to 3 hours each day; giving them time to dive more deeply into subjects that interest them or pursue their passions.
Homeschooling lacks structure
At Euka, we structure our programs to maximise learning and growth. Our lessons are mapped week-by-week, with progress you can see. Families get the benefit of a clear plan with the freedom to adapt it to their life.
Homeschooling is a last resort
For many Euka families, homeschooling is a conscious choice; a proactive decision to prioritise wellbeing, flexibility, and real-world learning. It’s not a backup plan; it’s a better-fit option.
