Homeschooling has been referred to as the ultimate pullout program for gifted children. Little research has been done on the vastly diverse population of families who educate their gifted children at home. Why do they do it? What methods do they use?

Identify trends in homeschooling practices in the U.S.
Differentiate levels of home education (i.e. partial, full, and afterschooling)
Distinguish among major homeschooling curricular paradigms
Examine the variables impacting families decisions to homeschool their gifted children
