Summary/Abstract: Homeschooling as an alternative form of education children in Poland, is becoming more popular. Over the past 20 years, the number of homeschooled children in the h in Poland has increased from a few to about three thousand. There is little research on this phenomenon. Until now only two books have been published – first by M. Budajczak and the second by M. P. Zakrzewski. There is, therefore, a need for further scientific exploration of homeschooling. As women are the ones who are mostly involved in homeschooling, even it they are helped by men, it seems to be interesting to describe a contemporary Polish home teaching women.
