Despite the fact that homeschooling is legal in Italy it is still very uncommon. The Italian Constitution states in Articles 30 and 33 that parents have the duty and right to support, instruct, and educate their children. Still, the right to homeschool a child in Italy is subject to certain constraints. Parents have to notify the school of their intent to educate the child at home and demonstrate that they have economic and technical capacities to teach their child at home. Economic capacity refers to financial means need to educate a child at home and “technical capacity” means that the person who will educate the child at home must have completed two full academic years of schooling beyond the level of the child he/she is teaching.
