Home Education Foundation

Robert Frost

Poet Robert Frost, winner of four Pulitzer Prizes, was a staunch believer in homeschooling (he was homeschooled himself), saying, “I still say the only education worth anything is self-education.” For Frost, this meant convincing the authorities that he and his wife could educate their children at home, which was taboo during the early 1900’s.

Vistors to the Frost home can see the parlor where “Elinor and Robert homeschooled their children and spent plesant evenings reading together as a family before the children were tucked in for the night.”
