Choose the pathway that fits your child’s legal and academic needs — not simply the country your family happens to be visiting.
Five pathways
Australia is available now. The United States, England, New Zealand and South Africa options are marked coming soon and currently lead to the main Cordia Home School information site.
Faith transparency: Cordia is Christian-founded. Its curriculum includes a Christian worldview and daily devotional material.
Australian Curriculum learning for families following an Australian pathway.
A good starting point if your child is registered for home education in an Australian state or territory, or expects to return to the Australian education system.
US grade language and state-by-state homeschool guidance for American families.
A useful reference point if a US state remains responsible for your child or you expect to return to a US school or qualification pathway.
English home-education language for families following an England-based pathway.
A useful reference point if your child is ordinarily educated under England’s system. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have separate arrangements.
New Zealand year levels and home-education context for families following a New Zealand pathway.
A useful reference point if your child holds or may need a New Zealand Certificate of Exemption, or expects to return to that education system.
South African grade language and home-education context for families following a South African pathway.
A useful reference point if a provincial education department is responsible for your child or you expect to return to a South African pathway.
Not sure yet?
Start with the arrangement that exists today, not a future itinerary.
Short travel and genuine relocation can lead to different obligations.
Ask the authority directly and keep its answer with your records.
Choose a path that reduces unnecessary gaps or repetition.
If the answers point in different directions, do not guess from your IP address or current destination. Contact the relevant education authority and, where circumstances are complex, obtain advice appropriate to your situation.
The question to take home
Not by citizenship alone. State and territory schemes are tied to residence or presence in the jurisdiction. Short trips may leave residence and registration unchanged; genuine non-residence abroad is different. Confirm the transition with your authority.
There is no single national homeschool rule. Requirements are state-based, and the federal overview does not provide one answer for residents living abroad. Ask the relevant state authority whether notice, attendance or record duties continue.
GOV.UK explains the parent’s duty to provide suitable full-time education but does not give a blanket answer for every overseas arrangement. Tell the school or local council about the real plan and check the destination’s rules if residence changes.
The Ministry of Education says home-educating families should report overseas travel, and time abroad can change the home-education allowance. Ask the Ministry how the exemption and any other duties apply to your circumstances.
The national department directs families to their Provincial Education Department and asks for proof of residence. Its public overview does not provide a blanket overseas-travel answer. Confirm with the province and the destination authority.
General information only, not legal advice. Official links and a fuller checklist are in the worldschooling legal guide.
Choose for continuity
A stable curriculum can give your child a thread to follow through changing places.
